The top of season 4 noticed Robin sitting down together with her crush within the aftermath of a large hellish portal opening up in Hawkins, however transferring ahead, Hawke isn’t certain how she feels about being in an on-screen relationship.

We first met Robin when Steve (Joe Keery) was working on the ice cream retailer Scoops Ahoy on the Starcourt Mall, the 2 had superb chemistry that lept from the display, and to make it even higher, it didn’t get romantic. Although Steve might have felt one thing for her, she cuts him off by popping out as homosexual, a factor that’s exhausting to do nonetheless immediately, not to mention within the ’80s.

I feel that’s a ravishing high quality that they’ve, and I wouldn’t want it away.”

Because of the writers’ strike occurring proper now manufacturing on season 5 has been halted, which is able to doubtless influence when it’s launched on Netflix. Nevertheless, we have now no launch date but, so we may very well be wanting on the finish of 2024, even perhaps early 2025.
