Four years ago fan favorite Stranger Things came out on Netflix. It’s been one heck of a ride too. Last year at this time season three was released and in a Netflix Queue interview Maya Hawke reflects on one of the moments everyone was talking about; her character Robin coming out to Steve (Joe Kerry). Hawke revealed her thoughts on the coming-out scene.
“I don’t know about emotional,” Keery replied. “It was rewarding to get to that final sequence in the midst of all this crazy supernatural shit that’s going on — to do a scene that felt real and pretty honest. The action stuff is really fun, but it’s always nice when you get a two- or three-page scene to do in full, especially on a show with so many characters.”
“I was really happy about it for a simple reason,” Hawke added. “There are a lot of complicated reasons, but the simple reason was that I think it’s really amazing to show a male-female relationship form on camera that isn’t about sex. Most of the time, that’s an undercurrent in one direction or another, and for Steve and Robin, it really isn’t. Even if Steve thinks it is for a little while, or it gets confused, as soon as it’s taken off the table for him, he’s equally invested in the friendship. He reacts so unbelievably well, and their friendship gets deeper. That was really important to me because that, also, was unique — not just being the first LTBGTQ+ character, but having one of the few aromantic friendships between a man and a woman on mainstream TV. It’s really cool to me.”
This past February in a released teaser for the upcoming season of Stranger Things, we were shown that Jim Hopper is still alive. (I knew it!) Now what fans are dying to know is how many more seasons will we get. With the fourth season coming up and a casting call alluding to at least a fifth season, fans like me are hoping for an exciting journey. Instead of only eight episodes, it is reported that the fourth season could have nine like the second season. According to ComicBook.com Joel Stoffer, Agents of SHIELD was cast in at least one episode of the series.
The first three seasons of Stranger Things are streaming on Netflix.

Mamma, Mimi, Michele, call out any one of those names and I will answer. There are several hats on my shelf. My passions are photography, being outside, movies, tv, pop culture and anything haunted or spooky. People are my other interest, I love meeting new people and socializing. When I lived in Savannah GA I worked as a tour guide both haunted and historical tours. I met people from all over the world, that was the best part of the job. All of this I can write about too, that’s the beauty of being a writer.
