Mike, Eleven and Will return in Season 4 of Stranger Things.
Netflix
Stranger Things hasn’t aired a new episode since before the pandemic – July 2019 to be exact. So it’s no surprise that fans have been very excited to see footage from the upcoming fourth season. Part 1 of this season comes to Netflix on May 27th, the second half on July 1st. A trailer for the new season was released on Tuesday. And fans may well get chills.
Warning: minor spoilers ahead.
The atmospheric trailer for Journey’s 1983 song Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) suggests that Dr. In “a war” that threatens her friends, Sam Owens (Paul Reiser) seeks help from a powerless elf (Millie Bobby Brown) in Hawkins, Indiana.
Police Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour) has a rough time in a Russian prison where he is apparently forced to fight a Demogorgon. We also see what appears to be the season’s main villain, a seemingly intelligent being living in the terrifying parallel dimension known as the Upside Down.
Fans could count down the hours until the trailer dropped via a strange streaming video provided to promote the show. The video focused on a large spooky grandfather clock labeled Creel Clock. The Creel House is the scene of a disturbing murder and is set to play a role in the new season.

A number of short teaser videos preceded the trailer, along with four teaser posters and stills from the upcoming season. One of the teasers showed the Creel House, complete with a clock. It looks like the 1950s family that moved in when the house was in better condition met a bloody end, and modern day kids can’t resist breaking in and making their hands on the macabre place.
Stranger Things captivated Netflix viewers when it debuted in 2016. Set in the small town of Hawkins in the 1980s, the series begins with the disappearance of a boy named Will Byers. Hawkins National Laboratory researchers have opened a gateway to the spooky Upside Down and are experimenting on a group of children. One of these children, known as Eleven, escapes and befriends Will’s gang.
Two more seasons shook the original gang, with Hopper seemingly dying (but somehow ending up in Russia) and Joyce Byers taking her own family plus Eleven and moving out of Hawkins. Season 4 takes place in 1986.
