Stranger Things 4 brought back the Hawkins gang for another exciting new season. The popular show, which has garnered a global fan following throughout its run, was created by the Duffer Brothers. Opening up about the new season, the duo talked about the elements they chose to explore this time.

In a conversation with NME, the creators revealed that they had penned down the whole ‘mythology’ of the show right from season one, after a request from Netflix.

The brothers also talked about how they also wanted to delve deeper into Eleven’s past.
