The show is set in the 80’s and follows a group of kids as they discover their town (Hawkins, Indiana) is supernatural. People are now asking when series 4 is coming. There is no confirmation of a fourth series however, last year David Harbour who is police chief Jim Hopper on the show said it would go on for at least four seasons.
“We’re either going to season four or season five,” Harbour said at the time. “It’s still being debated. I do know the arc of the story, though. This was something that I discussed with [show creators] the Duffer brothers right from day one.”
