“Stranger Things” YouTube Channel Teasing SOMETHING for Tomorrow…
The return of “Stranger Things” is just about a month away now, with “Stranger Things 4” premiering on May 27, 2022. The first volume of episodes will hit Netflix on that date, with Volume 2 of the brand new season set to follow on July 1, 2022. While you wait, the official “Stranger Things” YouTube channel seems to be promising *something* special this week…
“It’s almost time,” a new video that went live on the “Stranger Things” YouTube promises, with the “Creel Clock Livestream” video counting down to Tuesday, April 12, 2022.
We don’t know exactly what to expect for tomorrow, but it seems pretty safe to assume that some kind of video footage – perhaps a new trailer? – is on the way this week.
The “Creel Clock” is a reference to brand new character Victor Creel, who will appear in Season 4. And coolest of all, he’s being played by horror icon Robert Englund!
Robert Englund’s “Stranger Things” character Victor Creel is being described as “a disturbed man who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a gruesome murder in the 1950s.”
Check out the “Creel Clock Livestream” on the “Stranger Things” YouTube below…
What we know of Season 4 thus far is that Hopper is still alive, “imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human…and other.”
“Meanwhile, back in the states, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything….”
“Season 4 is shaping up to be the biggest and most frightening season yet, and we cannot wait for everyone to see more,” the Duffer Brothers had said back in February of last year.

‘God of War’ – Ryan Hurst Suffers On-Set Injury and Will Be Replaced as Kratos in Prime Video Series
After four episodes have already been shot of Prime Video’s hotly anticipated “God of War” television series, we’ve learned that an on-set injury will send the team back to square one.
Deadline reports that actor Ryan Hurst, who had been cast to play Kratos in the series, tore his bicep during a stunt-gone-wrong on set, and rather than wait until Hurst has healed up and can get back into action, the streaming series will instead recast the role of Kratos.
Additionally, all four episodes they’ve already shot will have to be fully re-shot with the new actor they bring in to play Kratos. At this time, no replacement actor has been announced.
Deadline notes that the decision was made by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, the producers of the upcoming Prime Video adaptation of the video game franchise.
Hurst tore his bicep while doing a stunt on set back in late June. “This is a heartbreaking development for Hurst who underwent a physical transformation after getting the role, putting on 40 lbs of muscle, and worked hard for months on the Vancouver set filming the physically demanding role until getting hurt performing his duties,” Deadline notes in their report.
The outlet explains, “Hurst’s recovery time is unclear but for a serious bicep tear requiring surgery, it is typically 4-6 months, with a return to full strength taking up to a year. Given the physicality of the role, it will likely not have been safe for Hurst to resume filming until 2027. According to sources, while Hurst’s full recovery is a priority, the period required was longer than the production shooting schedule could accommodate, leading to the difficult decision.”
The “God of War” production is currently on hiatus. Stay tuned for more.
