As promised yesterday, a new trailer for Stranger Things season 4 has arrived online – and it definitely looks like this long-in-the-works season has been worth the wait! Series creators the Duffer Brothers have said that season 4 has a bigger scope than the previous seasons, and that’s very obvious in the trailer embedded above.
Since this season also has longer episodes, it’s being split into two “volumes”. Volume 1 reaches the Netflix streaming service on May 27th and Volume 2 will follow on July 1st.
Along with the release of the new trailer comes this synopsis:
It’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. 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.
