Stranger Thingsis back, and from a suburban high school to a Russian prison, the Upside Down is far from done with the central Hawkins gang.
The official trailer for season 4 of the Netflix drama was released on Tuesday, and while the kids may be tackling high school and growing out of their sci-fi roots, nothing is ever as it seems.
In the new full-length trailer, viewers see Max (Sadie Sink) at her deceased brother Billy’s (Dacre Montgomery) grave, lamenting how “everything’s changed” in Hawkins since he disappeared.

After the danger they faced in season 3, Eleven and Will (Noah Schnapp) have moved to California and are trying their hand at high school in a new time zone. However, El still thinks of lost love Mike and senses that something continues to brew in Hawkins, although she expresses her fear of fighting it now that she apparently doesn’t have her powers.
Meanwhile, even though Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) has left town, she can’t escape suspicious packages with foreign stamps appearing on her doorstep.

In an open letter addressed to fans ahead of the premiere, showrunners the Duffer Brothers explained why they planned to split the fourth season into two parts.
“Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc forStranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons,” they shared. “It proved too large to tell in four, but – as you’ll soon see for yourselves – we are now hurling toward our finale.”
