Netflix on Tuesday unveiled new images from the fourth and penultimate season of Stranger Things.
Almost three years after the broadcast of the last episode, the return of the series is highly anticipated. Shared on Twitterthe trailer had already garnered more than 130,000 “likes” by the end of the afternoon.
The story takes place six months after the end of the previous season. We will remember that Eleven and her adoptive family had then left the city of Hawkins to settle in California, leaving behind her band of friends. This separation obviously did not last long.
Over the course of the trailer, the Dr Sam Owens warns Eleven that his friends are in danger. “A war is brewing. I’m afraid your friends at Hawkins are in the eye of the storm,” he announces, indicating that without Eleven, “ [ils ne gagneront] not this war”. And if the young girl, who had spent all her energy fighting the Mind Flayer, still didn’t seem to have regained her powers in the final season’s epilogue, the trailer suggests that they are back.
The fourth season will also mark the highly anticipated return of Hopper, who seemed to have been left for dead at the end of the last episode. Doubts about his death had however been removed by Netflix in February 2020: mystery ad titled ” From Russia with love… (a reference to the English title of The Adventures of James Bond Kisses from Russia) revealed the former police chief in a forced labor camp. “It’s not all good news for our ‘American’; he is imprisoned far from his home, in the snowy desert of Kamchatka, where he will have to face human dangers… and others”, had declared the Duffer brothers when announcing the beginning of the production of the fourth season.
The trailer thus promises an eventful season, which seems to be getting closer and closer to horror scenes. Composed of nine episodes, it will be divided into two parts, the first being broadcast from May 27. It will however be necessary to wait for the 1er July for the future.
