StrangerThings creators the Duffer Brothers have teased details about horror icon Robert Englund's role following the debut of the Season 4 trailer, describing his character Victor Creel as 'pivotal.' 👀
Stranger Things showrunners the Duffer Brothers have shared details about Robert Englund's new character following the debut of the season 4 trailer. Unlike previous Stranger Things seasons, season 4 of Netflix's sci-fi horror drama series will be divided into two parts and released separately. Stranger Things season 4, part 1 will debut on May 27, followed by part 2 on July 1, 2022.
In Stranger Things season 4, the series looks to expand to a scale unlike anything seen in prior seasons. While seasons 1 to 3 centred on Mike Wheeler , Lucas Sinclair , Dustin Henderson , Will Byers , and Eleven/Jane Hopper's group of friends, the cast has not only grown, but now been divided across the world.
“The fact that he came to us in a season that’s so deeply inspired by the Nightmare series and by his performance especially in those movies, it felt like fate, it felt like, ‘okay, this is meant to be.’" Englund was cast in Stranger Things season 4 in November 2020, when a brief description of his sinister figure was teased. In a tweet announcing Englund's casting, the Stranger Things Twitter account revealed that Englund's Victor Creel is a disturbed man who was imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital following a gruesome murder in the 1950s.
With episodes an hour in length and a plot with a scale comparable to Game of Thrones, Stranger Things season 4 may prove to be the show's most ambitious installment yet. What's more, Englund's appearance is sure to capture the interest and imagination of many keen viewers.
