“Stranger Things” season four will be released in two volumes on May 27 and July 1, respectively. After months of waiting, fans can finally watch the full trailer for season four of the hit Netflix show. The new trailer comes amid news that the series will wrap with season five. “This summer, every ending, has a beginning,” the trailer says, so it seems season four is setting up a massive finale for the show’s last season.
The trailer seem to give answers to some of the biggest questions from the season three finale, like who was the mysterious “American” and where did Joyce move her kids. But the question remains: will Eleven will ever recover her powers? Those mysteries will likely remain until the show returns with season four, but in the meantime, we’re here to speculate right along with you.
The series creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, have shared that season four will expand the show’s scope even further, outside of Hawkins, IN. Matt told “Entertainment Weekly,” “I think the biggest thing that’s going to happen is it’s going to open up a little bit, not necessarily in terms of scale, in terms of special effects, but open up in terms of allowing plotlines into areas outside of Hawkins.”
