Stranger Things 4: who killed the writers of the hit Netflix series by mistake?

It doesn’t usually happen: admitting mistakes, let alone in public. But the creators of strange thingsthe series that is fashionable on Netflix, they have no choice but to do it: they were wrong.

Ross and Matt Duffer, creators of the series – an entire global audience hit for Netflix, season after season -, acknowledge that a certain death in Season 4 may have been a little premature.

But before continuing, obviously – in case there is a reader who has not yet seen the series -, we warn: spoiler alert.

It can fail …

So, while there are those who have well-founded fears about what will happen to Steve Harrington, in the case of Will Byers there are fans who believe that the first volume of Unknown things 4 it would hide a sad subplot for Noah Schnapp’s character.

The question, of course, is who match soon? And it was born a few days later from another theory triggered around the premiere of Unknown things 4… is supported by the date seen in the video that Angela’s friends are shooting humiliating Eleven: According to the narrative, the event occurs on March 22, 1986, the same date as Mike’s arrival in California.

And how it was established in the second season of strange thingsWill Byers celebrates his birthday on March 22nd.

As a result, some fans have suggested it Joyce, Jonathan, Eleven and Mike have forgotten Will’s birthday which is why the character was so upset that day.. Indeed, there are even those who have come to postulate that the sadness of that oblivion could make Will an ideal target for Vecna.

But while it doesn’t seem entirely far-fetched, the Duffer Brothers admitted that the truth is a little less elaborate: they just forgot Will’s birthday.

“It was like that, the same thing happened to us with the characters: we forgot Will’s birthday. The problem now is deciding whether to fix Will’s birthday or just let him be really sad, “Matt Duffer explained to Variety.

“I warned you!!”

Until then, a mistake hypothesized by the creators. But there is another, more relevant as we shall see. In this fourth season, viewers immediately fell in love the chemistry between Chrissy Cunningham (Grace Van Dien) and Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn)especially after Eddie called her “the queen of Hawkins High” moments after selling him drugs in the woods.

So, surely, all fans of fiction felt a deep sense of sadness when Vecna ​​brutally kills Grace at the end of the first episode.

Now the Duffers are asking, “What have we done?” “We always have those moments,” Matt told TVLine. “We shot the scene of the drug dealing in the woods quite late, actually, during filming.”

So this means Chrissy’s fate was already sealed when the big scene in the woods was shot. Ross confirmed that “Chrissy was already killed when we shot her.”

Impressed by Chrissy

The Duffers were immediately impressed with the 25-year-old actress, whose previous credits include The rookie by ABC e Black Code from CBS.

“He was alone one of those lucky scenes where we were able to have two cameras spinning to capture them at the same timeMatt said, “Joe was doing a lot of spontaneous things and we got these amazing reactions from Grace.”

Most surprising is how Grace managed to give Chrissy so much heart in such a short time, especially on a show that was already filled with so many beloved characters.

“It is truly impressive what Grace has been able to do with very few scenes.“Matt said,” so that people care as much as she does. “

However, there is still hope for a future with the Duffers, as Matt insisted, “we’ll find something else to do with Grace”.

The first seven episodes of the fourth season of Stranger Things are now available on Netflix, with the final two episodes due out on July 1st.
