Stranger Things creators hint David Harbour's character might still be alive

Millie Bobby Brown has revealed that the fourth season of Stranger Things will begin shooting very soon.

The actor, who stars as Eleven in the hit Netflix series, was taking part in a Q&A with her fans on Instagram when someone asked when filming for season four would start.

“Soon,” she responded. “Early this year for sure and very excited about it! [sic]”

Stranger Things season three ended on a cliffhanger, with fans uncertain about the fate of Chief Hopper.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Stranger Things co-creator Ross Duffer gave some brief details of what fans can expect from season four.

“We don’t want to write ourselves in a corner so we try to have these early discussions with the writers just to make sure that we’re setting ourselves up to go in the right direction,” he said.

“We don’t know a lot, but we do know a lot of the big broad strokes. At the end of season two, we knew about Billy. We knew that the Russians were going to come in. We didn’t know the mall and stuff, but again, we know these big broad strokes.”

Much like with previous seasons, the writing team working on Stranger Things has been revealing the names of films they've been watching for influence.

Recently, they named Young Sherlock Holmes, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Hackers, which hints that Mike, Lucas and co will be upping their spy game in new episodes.

Stranger Things fans are predicting the show will return this December.
