“Stranger Things: Season Four” Is Finally On Its Way

It’s been several years now since we’ve seen our favorite kids in Hawkins, Indiana, and producer Shawn Levy is very aware that “Stranger Things” fans are getting very impatient after waiting for what feels like forever for the hit series’ fourth season. To state the incredibly obvious, it’s been way, way, way, way too long, and it’s coming,” said Levy about the upcoming season. The good news is, we won’t have to wait much longer, the new season has now finished filming. I shot in Lithuania right before the pandemic. We have filmed in Georgia, Lithuania, and New Mexico, so suffice to say Season 4 is sprawling. It’s visually and narratively very ambitious, much more ambitious than the prior three seasons — The delay is due in large measure to COVID and the pace at which we have to work to do so safely, but it also happens to be the season that we chose to go much bigger.

Premiere Date Revealed For Netflix’s “Unsolved Mysteries”

One of the most iconic series of my childhood was “Unsolved Mysteries.” Each week I couldn’t wait to plop down in front of the TV for the Robert Stack hosted show to examine unsolved mysteries, missing person cases, murders, ghosts, UFOs, and more. A few weeks backed weeks back we reported that the series is getting a reboot from Netflix. Today, we can report that we’ve learned that the premiere date is set for July 1st. The series, executive produced by “Stranger Thing’s” Shawn Levy, will be a bit different than the hit show that debuted in January of 1987. Firstly, there will be no host. Another difference is that each episode will only focus on one subject, unlike the original. This time around, the series is documentary style. Be sure to tune for the premiere of “Unsolved Mysteries” on Netflix on July 1, 2020. If you would like to rewatch or watch the original series for the first time

Writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods are moving ahead with their next project following their huge hit A Quiet Place.
