Mini FAQ

  • Is it connected to Stranger Things?
    No; Stranger Things is a separate Netflix series with five seasons and 42 episodes, not movies.
  • Why do some fans get confused about the count?
    Because the newer “chapter” films are sometimes marketed as a trilogy project, people see talk of three planned entries, but only the released movies actually count toward the current total of four.
