Stranger Things season 4: First look photos have got us mighty excited

Stranger Things season 4 is 65 days away from release, and might we tell you the sum total of 6 and 5? The first look images are out today and it is safe to say that we definitely cannot keep calm anymore.

Season 4, Volume 1 picks up six months after the events of Season 3, which had our heroes battling the Mind Flayer in the middle of the Starcourt Mall, as one does. And the characters have come such a long way since we first met them in Season 1, as the Duffer brothers noted in conversation with Smith, explaining that Season 4 will have a much darker, “horror movie” vibe. 

Have a look at the photos here:

“When we pitched it to Netflix all those years ago, we pitched it as the kids are...The Goonies in E.T.,” explained Ross. 

He added,

"That’s their storyline. And the adults are in Jaws and Close Encounters and then the teens are in Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween. But, this year, we don’t have the kids. We can’t do The Goonies anymore. And so, suddenly, we’re leaning much harder into that horror movie territory that we love. It was fun to make that change.”

Season 4, Volume 1 is slated for a drop on May 27.
