As Salon reports, producers had to resort to some visual trickery to wind back the clock for the show’s rapidly aging cast. In a new five-minute preview of the upcoming season, actor Noah Schnapp’s character, Will Byers, had to be digitally de-aged to retell the story of what happened when Will became trapped in the Upside Down, a shadowy parallel universe, in the show’s first season — but this time, from Will’s perspective.

The de-aging tech used for ‚It: Chapter 2‘ (2019) was god-awful: Lets see what $500 million and 6 years later does.

That’s what happens when you wait 3 and a half years between seasons! 🙄

I honest to god thought they’d used a lookalike. Something about it feels very uncanny

I’m not even going to watch it. It’s been so long I’ve forgotten most of the story and I really don’t feel like having to re-watch the entire last season again

Since de-aged Jeff Goldblum from Wicked: For Good has been haunting my dreams, I am not looking forward to this

Why can’t the season take place three years into the future? Like evil brewing for three years until it shows itself, and while it had been… brewing… well, it’s made a more formidable threat than ever before, fitting for a finale, yada yada.
I know, children is a „DNA“ of the show but there’s not much sense in staying kids forever and if Harry Potter managed despite being about kids, I’m sure Stranger Things could handle it too.

I dont even want to give Netflix the personal satisfaction of watching this season the first week it comes out.

Hopefully they hired Ctrl Shift Face for the job.

Bad headline I’ll fix it.
Stranger Things forced to use digital de-aging after taking 10 years to film 4 seasons
well thats a great little teaser for later
This could bring some credit to the fan theory that >!All of Stranger Things was just a D&D game they’ve been playing since the first episode!<
