12 Improvised Scenes In Stranger Things Season 4

We know Stranger Things 4 is full of brilliant writing, performing, and special effects, but did you know that there are a good amount of scenes that the actors improvised on the spot? We’re sure you’re aware of all the iconic moments from seasons 1-3, like Millie Bobby Brown stealing more Eggos than she was told to, or the awkward breakfast scene between Nancy, Jonathan, and Murray, but there are plenty of hilarious and incredible moments to talk about in this season. For example, did you know that two characters were given more freedom to improvise than others, strictly due to how amazing their on-screen chemistry was? Or that The Duffer Brothers gave a few characters the option to add in a few lines of their own during some particularly heart wrenching moments? We also get to talk about all the brilliant lines that Joseph Quinn added in on his accord – we love Eddie Munsen over here. Not only was Sadie Sink’s reaction to Jamie Campbell Bower totally genuine in her big Mind Lair scene, but her co-star, Caleb McLaughlin has a few genuine reactions of his own when it comes to his character Lucas, and how he feels about Max. We also can’t forget about Finn Wolfhard’s charming awkwardness and sincerity when it comes to conveying Mike’s heartfelt monologues. We had no idea these moments could be made even more emotional. Don’t go anywhere so we can spill all the tea on the beautiful improvisation of the Stranger Things world.

Stranger things is the best show ive seen, change my mind.
Who loves stranger things?

Caleb's acting and the attic scene were out of this world. The entire cast is insanely talented, but that scene was on another level.

[elaynaeisman]

When Lucas screamed “ERICA HELP” and when Eddie told dustin he loved him and Dustin said it back I started BAWLING and when mike was telling 11 how much he loved her, that was so heartwarming def one of my fav scenes

[trinaq]

I'm still crying over Eddie's sacrifice, and his emotional "I love you" to Dustin. I hope that they'll bring Joe back in the form of flashbacks or dream sequences.

[BostonAmy]

I was already balling when Eddie said "I love you, man." But I completely lost it when Lucas hit us with "Erica. . .help!" There's no coming back from that. Especially because they always say the meanest things to each other. But Lucas was so desperate, he needed his little sister. Wooh. . .I'm tearing up again. Caleb was pure perfection in that scene.

[thevoid]

JUST WANTED TO say that its so heartwhelming that the makers and the team allowed the actors such freedom to improvise their own touch which helps us connect more with them

[grebenrA]

The work Caleb did on that whole attic scene was OUTSTANDING! That improvised call for help might just be one of the absolute best moments of acting in the whole darn show.

[acey]

When Caleb called out to Erica, my heart broke. His acting was above and beyond

[khalilahd.]

Every improvised moment added so much depth to the show ESPECIALLY the kiss scene 🙏🏽

[gunningtech]

My girlfriend and I both shouted "Finally" when the kiss happened between Hopper and Joyce, it's cool knowing it was improvised. By far the best season so far 💯

[irwinvasquez]

Eddie is just that guy. That guy who at 1st you think you're going to hate. But after some time with him he becomes one of your closest friends who would do anything for anyone. I think he was the heart of the season.

[roxannemarrero]

It’s crazy that “Eric help” was not just improvised but it was also one of the most iconic and heart breaking lines in the entire series. Bravo Caleb

[andreanatsuminadeau]

Joseph Quinn improvising "I love you man" was gold, Gaten catching up on it and saying "I love you too" in an half voice that says "were we supposed to say that?" but totally gets the tone and feel of the moment and turn that gold into diamond-coated platinum
Joseph Quinn and Jamie Campbell Bower made every actor they had scenes with shine so I'm secretly on the team that want Vecna to bring Eddie back as Kas the bloody handed just to see those 2 wonderfull actor bounce off of each other.
Other than that all the actors did a great job, improv or not.

[reydragonclaw]

Lucas' screaming and crying with Max in his arms absolutely _SOLD_ that scene. Great acting, and the desperate "ERICA HELP" is a gut-punch. Ouch.

[cristinarancano]

When Lucas screamed “Erica Help” it broke my heart I would not have guessed it was improvised that’s pure talent. I also think that him screaming Max is better than just screaming No. like I was about to cry I really thought Max would make it

[andrewfloresca]

A lot of these scenes wouldn’t have been the same without the improv. Thank you Duffer brothers for allowing some creativity from your cast.

[giraffesmile]

The stranger things cast are just so talented I would have never guessed those scenes were improv some of my favourite stranger things scenes are improv

[judithfurmston]

Not so much improv but I really believed Eddie loved Dustin when they play fought in the field. Gaten seems to inspire a LOT of affection from anyone who acts with him. That was so sweet.

[CleopatraPhilopator]

The Kiss was Necessary! Duffers should be Ashamed that They didn't script it!
Caleb did Wonderful with the "Erica, Help" scream, and "Max!"! He HAD to do something That Powerful to keep up with Sadie's performance!
We ALL Loved Eddie!
Mike is Awkward, and No Matter how Tense, he Can't get those Words out! Great Job!
Hugs!

[PennyLikeCent]

Lucas' cry out when Max was dying. That gave me goosebumps. Stellar scene for Caleb
