New rumor claims Stranger Things season 4 is coming in May 2022

The Stranger Things season 4 release date is confirmed for summer 2022. Netflix announced that news in the Stranger Things season 4 episode titles video on Stranger Things Day 2021.

That’s much later than fans were expecting to see the new season, which is set over spring break 1986. We all thought we’d see the new season of Stranger Things in the spring of 2022, but now, we’ll all be waiting for Stranger Things season 4 in the summer of 2022.

Well, we might not have to wait that long, according to a new rumor about the Stranger Things season 4 release date.

Stranger Things season 4 release date rumor

The rumor, which was first seen on Deuxmoi and was later shared on Twitter, is that Stranger Things season 4 is coming on May 27, 2022.

When we first saw the rumor, we thought it might be a little bit late. Now that we know that the new season’s coming in the summer of 2022, it makes more sense for a few reasons.

First of all, technically, TV and movie summer starts the last week of April, basically, and runs through September. So, when Netflix says “Summer 2022,” that could mean May 2022.

Second, we also know that May 27 is the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Netflix has released Stranger Things over holiday weekends in the past. Stranger Things season 2 premiered on Halloween weekend in 2017 and Stranger Things season 3 premiered on Fourth of July weekend in 2019.

And, last but not least, the last week of May is the deadline for the 2022 Emmys. If Stranger Things season 4 comes out by May 31, 2022, the season will be eligible for the Emmys.

Obviously, there’s a chance Netflix doesn’t care about any of that and wants to roll out Stranger Things season 4 in July 2022. We know Stranger Things season 3 was the most popular of the first three seasons, and it was released in the summer. Maybe, that’s the plan for season 4?

Knowing what we do so far, this is probably the most realistic Stranger Things season 4 release date we’ve seen.
