Q: I just finished watching season three of “Stranger Things” on Netflix and can’t wait for more. Has it been renewed for a fourth season yet? – P.S.
A: Netflix just announced it has renewed the popular sci-fi horror series for a fourth season, so we’ll be seeing more of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and company as they try to finally close the portal to the Upside Down. And it looks like the kids could be leaving their Indiana hometown behind, as a caption in the season four trailer noted, “We’re not in Hawkins anymore.”
The Duffer Brothers, the creative minds behind the breakout streaming series, reportedly signed a lucrative multi-year deal with Netflix that goes beyond just “Stranger Things” to include other series and film projects. “We can’t wait to see what The Duffer Brothers have in store when they step outside the world of The Upside Down,” Netflix said in a statement.
Will season four be the last? The brothers have said in the past that they see the show running four to six seasons, but that could change with their expanded Netflix deal.

Q: I’m searching for information on a series that aired last year about an airline flight that disappeared for five years and then mysteriously reappeared. I can’t remember what it was called. I thought I had read that it would be back for a second season. – M.U.
A: The mystery drama you’re thinking of is “Manifest,” starring Josh Dallas and Melissa Roxburgh. Fortunately, it will be back for a second season, but not until the winter or spring of 2020. The 13 episodes will air Monday nights on NBC without any hiatuses. It’s the closest you’ll be able to get to binging the entire season at once. I think it’s a smart move for network television to do this, as it decreases the chances of fans losing interest.
Q: What happened to “The Village” that aired last year? It was my favorite series. Didn’t it have the same writer as “Parenthood,” which was a very successful show? – S.S.
A: I hate to break the sad news to you, but “The Village,” starring Warren Christie, was canceled by NBC in May after just one season. Set in an apartment building in Greenwich Village, the ensemble series was aimed at attracting fans of absorbing dramas like “This Is Us” and “Parenthood,” but unfortunately it just didn’t generate very high ratings.
Producer-writer Mike Daniels doesn’t have any connections with “Parenthood,” but his credits include several episodes of the biker drama “Sons of Anarchy” and the Jennifer Lopez police show “Shades of Blue.”
