Stranger Things Season 4 Theory: Where Dr. Brenner Has Really Been
Stranger Things has left a lot of mysteries and questions — among those is where Dr. Brenner really is, and how he returns for season 4. The Duffer Brothers’ hit sci-fi horror series Stranger Things introduced viewers to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, where some dangerous experiments were taking place. Season 1 focused on the disappearance of Will Byers and the opening of a gate to another dimension at Hawkins Lab, which led to the escape of test subject Eleven and a monster referred to as the Demogorgon. Stranger Things season 1 introduced Dr. Brenner as the lead scientist handling Eleven's case, hence why she called him «Papa.» And it looks like Stranger Things season 4 will see Dr. Brenner return.
Stranger Things season 2 followed the aftermath of Will’s return and the consequences of his time in the Upside Down, and Eleven’s journey outside the lab. Then, Stranger Things season 3 revealed that the Russians had arrived at Hawkins, and built a secret lab underneath the new Starcourt Mall. Each season has had human and monster villains, and the primary human antagonist is Dr. Brenner, director of Hawkins Lab and Eleven’s father figure. Dr. Brenner was present in season 1 and led the search for Eleven after she escaped, and viewers learned through flashbacks that he was highly manipulative, ruthless, and ambitious. Brenner could have all manner of horrible motives in store for Stranger Things season 4.
