'Stranger Things' Reveals Season 4 First-Look Images

Netflix on Wednesday shared a series of first-look photos from season four of the Duffer brothers’ Stranger Things.

Season four will arrive in two volumes, with the first releasing on May 27 and the second debuting on July 1. Volume one will take place six months following the events on Season 3, which saw the young Hawkins heroes fighting against the Mind Flayer in the center of the Starcourt Mall.

According to Netflix’s official description, “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.”

In a forthcoming episode of the Present Company With Krista Smith, the Duffer brothers share that fans have plenty to look forward to in the upcoming season, according to Netflix. “I think they’ll be happy when they see it. It’s very, very long, which is why it’s taking us a very long time,” Ross Duffer said, noting that some fan theories he has read online are “startingly” accurate. “I’m constantly impressed with how sharp the fans are, and how quickly they’re able to put something together with very, very little information.”

Season four will see the return of Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Joe Keery, Charlie Heaton, Sadie Sink, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Cara Buono and Brett Gelman. Additionally, the new season will welcome several new characters, including Robert Englund as Victor Creel, Jamie Campbell Bower as Peter Ballard, Eduardo Franco as Argyle, Joseph Quinn as Eddie Munson and more.
