Stranger Things has wrapped filming on season 4 – at least according to star Noah Schnapp.

Fans have had a long wait for the next chapter of the Netflix series, with setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic adding to frustrations.

However, it appears that things are truly progressing, with the Will Byers actor revealing in a surfaced clip that not only has production finished, but a new teaser is on the way too.

"We just finished last week… yeah we're done," he said in the interview shared by fan account Stranger Things Spoilers. "We've been filming forever! And we're finally done. They're putting together another teaser."

Digital Spy has reached out to Netflix for further comment.

Season 4 was given a first look last month, with producer Shawn Levy recently teasing that it will be "worth the wait" after all the delays.

"I'll just say that we are long-delayed, and the Duffers and I want to share season four with the world as badly as the world wants it," he told The Hollywood Reporter.

"Part of what's taking time is long before COVID and the pandemic existed, season four was built to be by far the most ambitious, cinematic, sprawling and epic season that we've ever done.

"By not just a little – by a lot. So the complexity of season four, even before we had the obstacles, hurdles and challenges of a pandemic, is taking a lot of time because it is super worth the wait."

An exact release date is yet to be revealed, though it has been confirmed that the new episodes will be with us in 2022.

Stranger Things seasons 1-3 are now streaming on Netflix, and season 4 is due to premiere in 2022.
