Stranger Things Season 4 Release Announcement And Teasers Spark Cautious Optimism In Fanbase Online

After almost three years, a new Stranger Things is finally on its way. The official Stranger Things Twitter account posted several teasers and posters for the upcoming season four, which has the theme of going back to the beginning of the series' original plot.

Based on the reveal today and the posters released by Netflix, the season appears to be getting split into two halves, with volume one of season four coming out on May 27th, and volume two arriving a little over a month later on July 1st.

Though hype for the show has in no way died down over the years, the patience of some of its fans, apparently, has also begun to wane. This is evident with the various responses to the teaser images and release date being a mix of happiness at the show coming out again, and trepidation over how long it will take for the fifth and final season to come out.

Busy fans of the show were already quick at work trying to decipher what things they could from the teaser images, as well as speculate as to where the plot of the show could be headed by discussing specific things they like about previous seasons and character arcs they want to see continued.
