Part of the excitement of being in a fan community is the thrill of wild speculation. It’s fascinating to see fans analyze trailers and teasers in search of even the smallest hint of information. And when it comes to genres, nothing stirs speculation more than a horror/sci-fi mystery, as evidenced by the recent resurgence of interest in Netflix’s hit series ‘Stranger Things’.
Information about the highly anticipated fourth season of ‘Stranger Things’ has been scarce lately. The last glimpse fans had was back in February 2020 when it was revealed that Hopper was alive in Russia. The COVID-19 pandemic likely disrupted filming schedules, but it seems that things are now getting back on track.

Netflix has just dropped a new teaser for the upcoming season, offering a glimpse of the Hawkins facility where Eleven’s powers were first honed, along with other children undergoing experiments. However, concrete details are scarce, leaving fans to once again engage in rampant speculation.

Sharp-eyed viewers have noted that both the recent teaser and the previous one displayed codes “2/4” and “1/4,” hinting at potentially two more teasers before a full season trailer or release. Photos of the cast on set wearing COVID safety masks have surfaced online, indicating ongoing filming over the past year. The exact return date for Eleven and her fellow characters remains uncertain, but fans can’t wait to delve back into the mysteries of Hawkins.
