Netflix has been ever so parsimonious when it comes to releasing information about the upcoming season of one of its most popular shows ever, “Stranger Things,” shot largely in metro Atlanta.
But today, the streaming service released a revealing promo teaser on social media focused around something called the Creel House, a haunted house with plenty of dark secrets.
The promo shows a family moving into what appears to be a lovely home circa 1950 but tragedy befalls them. Flash forward to the series’ present time, and several of the “Stranger Things” cast members break into the home. Gaten Matarazzo, playing the smart and witty Dustin, quotes Sherlock Holmes, befuddling Steve (Joe Keery), Lucas (Cadie McLaughlin) and Max (Sadie Sink).
The series recently wrapped season four in Atlanta and moved for more shooting in New Mexico. Netflix has not provided a release date but said it will come some time in 2022.
The show debuted five years ago but has managed only three seasons. The last one came out in the summer of 2019. The pandemic delayed the show’s production a year and the show, with its big budget and complex post-production CGI work, typically takes a long time to finish.
The creators are racing against time in a sense because the core young actors are growing up quickly — the hazard of working with teenagers. In 2016, they were playing naive middle school students but are now fictionally in high school. But some of the actors are now college-age with Sink, McLaughlin and Matarazzo each 19 years old.
