The Trailer For Stranger Things Season 4 Has Dropped

Posted on the Stranger Things Twitter page, footage showed the clock as it counted down to 12 April, 10.00am ET, with the caption promising: “It’s almost time.”

Fans quickly started speculating over what this could mean, with many pointing out the significance of the grandfather clock in one of the season four teasers. 

Netflix later confirmed the stunt was to count down the trailer’s release.

Just in case you weren’t hyped enough, we don’t have long to wait until the first part of the fourth run drops – 27 May, folks, get it in the diary. Part two will arrive on 1 July. 

The plot kicks off six months after the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. 

As Netflix’s official synopsis puts it: “Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn't made things any easier. 

“In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.”

Of course, all of our favourite characters will be returning, including Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Will (Noah Schnapp) and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo).

We’ll also be seeing Joyce (Winona Ryder), Max (Sadie Sink), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), Robin (Maya Hawke) and Steve (Joe Keery), among others. 

Now that the show will finally return to our screens, it seems viewers are in for a treat, with Keery claiming that the upcoming season is more sinister than any that have come before.

He added: "Oh man, it's pretty amazing – the Duffer brothers have really done it again."
