Twitter
user
wrote,
"I
can
only
speak
on
Stranger
Things
4
Ep
1
for
now...
BUT
by
the
end
of
that
ep
your
jaw
will
drop
on
how
dark
this
has
gotten
&
you
next
realize
that
after
3
years
they
haven't
missed
a
step!
Makes
you
immediately
HAVE
to
watch
what's
next!."
Rick
Marshall
of
Digital
Trends,
called
it,
"Shocking,
scary,
and
*much*
darker
than
I
expected,
the
new
season
feels
like
it
was
worth
the
wait.
I
love
the
new
characters,
too." Take
a
look
at
more
reactions:
The
first
episode
of
#StrangerThings4
immediately
goes
darker
than
we’ve
seen
before
and
I
actually
loved
it.
The
show
feels
more
mature,
reflecting
how
these
characters
and
the
audience
have
grown
while
also
keeping
the
same
elements
that
make
it
#StrangerThings.

#StrangerThings
Season
4
premiere
is
big
stakes,
emotional,
and
scarier
than
ever.
But
more
than
anything,
it's
just
so
good
to
have
these
characters
--
and
this
show
--
back.
Get
hyped,
because
there's
nothing
else
like
this
on
TV.
#StrangerThings
season
4
is
the
most
ambitious
season
yet
that
will
make
you
fall
in
love
with
these
characters,
from
Eleven
to
Max
and
Steve,
in
new
and
remarkable
ways!
Also,
rewatches

Got
an
early
look
at
Stranger
Things
season
4
this
weekend.
Shocking,
scary,
and
*much*
darker
than
I
expected,
the
new
season
feels
like
it
was
worth
the
wait.
I
love
the
new
characters,
too.

The
official
Netflix
plot
synopsis
for
season
4
reads,
"It's
been
six
months
since
the
Battle
of
Starcourt,
which
brought
terror
and
destruction
to
Hawkins.
Struggling
with
the
aftermath,
our
group
of
friends
are
separated
for
the
first
time
-
and
navigating
the
complexities
of
high
school
hasn't
made
things
any
easier."
Notably,
Stranger
Things
will
have
a
final
season
5
coming
out
possibly
in
2023.
The
Duffer
brothers
announced
in
a
statement
on
February
17,
2022,
"Seven
years
ago,
we
planned
out
the
complete
story
arc
for
Stranger
Things."
"Struggling
with
the
aftermath,
our
group
of
friends
are
separated
for
the
first
time-and
navigating
the
complexities
of
high
school
hasn't
made
things
any
easier.
In
this
most
vulnerable
time,
a
new
and
horrifying
supernatural
threat
surfaces,
presenting
a
gruesome
mystery
that,
if
solved,
might
finally
put
an
end
to
the
horrors
of
the
Upside
Down," they
concluded.
