NetflixThe first teaser trailer for the eagerly anticipated Stranger Things season four has just dropped and it’s very… telling.
It appeared on the official Stranger Things Twitter account today, February 14, with the ominous caption, ‘From Russia with love…’.
As fans will know, the last season introduced a whole host of meddling Russian scientists into Hawkins, though it ended with Russian prison guards being instructed not to ‘feed the American’, so the caption for the new teaser is certainly intriguing.

Wow.
Season three of the Netflix original left fans with the fall out of Hopper’s supposed ‘death’ (or disappearance), leading to Joyce turning her back on life in Hawkins.
This meant we also saw the departure of Will and Jonathan, as well as the currently powerless Eleven, left parentless once again without Hopper’s gruff yet affectionate guidance.
With the gang fractured and dismantled, it made for a tear-jerking culmination to the fun and fear of the third season. But true fans knew – especially with that post credits teaser – we hadn’t yet seen the last of our favourite group of monster slayers.
NetflixThe teaser trailer appears to confirm fan theories that – thankfully – Hopper was still alive, and in a Russian prison – as hinted in the finale of season three.
After the teaser went live on Twitter, fans rushed to share their excitement over the chief of police’s return, despite David Harbour’s name being missing from the cast list which was released earlier this week.
It’s not known when fans can expect to see the return of the eagerly anticipated series, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for any more updates.
Seasons one, two and three of Stranger Things are all available to stream on Netflix now.
