Stranger Things season 4 will be released in two parts in late May and early July, which is a dangerous tactic for Netflix, but there is a purpose behind it. Stranger Things people have been waiting years for that to happen and now a new season is coming by summer 2022, two will arrive at once. Stranger Things season 4 will be released in two halves, one with a five-episode half-season and the other with a four-episode half-season a few months apart, as the streaming service has chosen to deliver it.

Stranger Things season 4 episodes 1-5 will premiere on Netflix on May 27th, followed by episodes 6-9 on July 1st. This will be the first time Netflix has split a season of Stranger Things, which had previously been one of the streaming service's most binge-watched shows. Nevertheless, the approach is astute and will benefit the series, as its foundation can be discovered in the show's shifting tone.

Stranger Things has evolved significantly from the first season. Stranger Things season 3 brought broad character comedy and a much faster pace into the proceedings, when the programme had previously been a dark drama with some supernatural undertones. Stranger Things' scope has shifted with each season, and Netflix's distribution method is a creative way of recognising this. While some viewers were dissatisfied by Stranger Things season 3 because they chose to binge-watch the full season, season 4 will urge fans to take their time with the programme and dissuade them from being frustrated with subplots.
