“Stranger Things” co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer have revealed they may retroactively fix a continuity error with Will’s birthday following events in the show’s recently released first volume of its fourth season.
During the first part of this fourth run, part of the plot took place took place on March 22nd. Yet a second season episode had Winona Ryder’s character Joyce indicate that March 22nd was Will’s birthday.
None of the characters acknowledged it in the new season and the Duffers have been asked about it in recent times and have admitted it was a continuity error. As a result, Matt Duffer has told Variety that they are considering going back and retroactively dubbing Joyce’s line in that second season to May 22nd:
“May can fit in Winona’s mouth… It’s too sad, and it doesn’t make any narrative sense. But we were talking about it yesterday, and I think we’re going to George Lucas that.”
Lucas of course has famously gone back and digitally altered scenes throughout the original “Star Wars” trilogy in the years after its initial release.
The comments come ahead of the show’s second ‘volume’ which arrives next Friday on the service.
