“We’re excited to officially announce thatproduction for Stranger Things 4is now underway-and even more excited to announce the return of Hopper!” the Duffer Brothers said when the teaser was released. “Although it’s not all good news for our ‘American’; [Hopper] is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, Russia, where he will face dangers both human… and other. Meanwhile, back in the States, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything.”

In May, Netflix released another teaser trailer forStranger Things 4. This one specifically focused on Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven with the fan favorite character locked up in the institution she was raised in. A voice asks her if she’s listening, and her eyes dart open before the teaser ends. The video raises more questions than anything else, leading fans to wonder what exactly is in store for Eleven comeStranger Things 4.
