New Stranger Things Season 4 Trailer

On May 27, the first half of Season 4 of Stranger Things will hit Netflix. And with the new season a little more than a month away, a new trailer has been released for the show. The new season delivers a lot of shocks and a new threat: one from the Upside Down.

The kids of Hawkins are growing up and some are growing apart, Eleven have moved away. This season takes place six months after the events of Battle of Starcourt (Season 3), and as the friends enter high school, they’ve pulled back to the Upside Down again.

“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,” reads the official description.

Said, “supernatural threat” is more than likely what appears at the end of the trailer. And by looking at the cast list–and at the creature’s face–could this character be played by Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm St.)? Englund is listed in the synopsis as playing Victor Creel. Considering how often Stranger Things pays homage to movies and TV shows from the ’80s, this is a reasonable guess. There’s also the fact that the monster seems to be in the Upside Down version of The Creel House–a location revealed in a previous teaser.

Season 4 will consist of nine episodes, split into two parts–with Volume 2 coming out on July 1. The Duffer Brothers will write and direct a bulk of the episodes with Shawn Levy and Nimród Antal directing two episodes apiece.

Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery will all reprise their roles in the latest season.
