Netflix has released the first teaser for the highly anticipated fourth and final season, of Stranger Things. The teaser doesn’t reveal too much about the upcoming seasons, but it’s left behind some big hints that have the internet going crazy.
Season 3 had an emotional ending filled with loss, compassion, friendship and love, and left us all in tears. Hopper sacrificed himself to save everyone, and then later on Joyce decides to take Will, Johnathon and Eleven out of Hawkins in order to find a fresh new start elsewhere.
As the family packs up the house, we see Eleven reading a letter from her adoptive father Hopper, that he never had time to give her. He narrates the letter, and leaves in it not only wisdom, but his love. Meanwhile, we see the rest of the gang teary-eyed as they say their goodbyes. It an emotional and powerful ending that feels almost like a finale. But the new teaser proves that the series is far from over.
The teaser is titled “From Russia, With Love,” hinting that the show will be expanding its world beyond the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. Sure enough, the trailer starts off in Siberia, Russia where Soviet guards are watching over a chain gang of prisoners working on a railroad. One of them takes his hat off and reveals himself to be, Hopper, confirming many fan suspicions that he survived the explosion.
The teaser doesn’t provide us with much else, but the reappearance of Hopper is enough to get fans excited for the final season.
