Strangers Things fourth season. ET s Katie Krause spoke to the 22-year-old actress, who plays Robin in the Netflix series, about what fans can expect when the new season debuts. The Duffer brothers [Matt and Ross Duffer, the show s creators] are just really free and really smart. They re not allowing themselves to get stuck. They keep changing. They keep growing. They keep investing and building the characters, Hawke said. It s an honor to be a part of it, and work with them, and watch them build these people, especially Robin. .

Horror might be the genre best-suited to the short-film format.
