has been confirmed to be the popular show’s last and is currently in production. A lot of news is coming out about the highly-anticipated final chapter of the Netflix sci-fi horror mystery series.
One of the most prominent among them surrounds the potential return of a supposedly dead character. Matthew Modine’s Dr. Martin Brenner or Papa has been an important character in the overarching narrative of Stranger Things, especially due to his connection to Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven / Jane Hopper (“El”).
In Season 4, he has one more interaction with Eleven before she leaves, and he dies alone in the desert of Nevada. However, with the filming for the final season currently ongoing, Modine appears to have teased his return on his Instagram page.
The actor recently posted an old video from several years back, and wrote in the caption, “strangerthings5 #bts #drmartinbrenner #papa #indestructible,” hinting at a potential return of the character.
Nothing has been officially confirmed neither by the actor nor by Netflix. But the post led fans to speculate what it could mean.
