Stranger things season 1 debuted on July 15, 2016, while seasons 2 and 3 came out on October 27, 2017, and July 4, 2019, respectively. With the fourth season coming out on May 27, 2022, there’s a clear time gap between the Stranger Things world and ours.
Only three years have passed on the show while six years have passed in real-time, meaning that while the actors may have been the same age as their characters when they first began filming, they have most likely surpassed their character ages by now.
