The synopsis of the series 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."
"In this most vulnerable time, 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.”
News broke of the new season earlier this year with the slogan: “every ending has a beginning” appearing upside-down on a billboard.
As well as this, a letter was also published from brothers and producers of Stranger Things Matt and Ross Duffer to the show’s “nerds”.
It stated: “With nine scripts, over eight hundred pages, almost two years of filming, thousands of visual effects shots, and a runtime nearly twice the length of any previous season, Stranger Things 4 was the most challenging season yet, but also the most rewarding one.”

They added: “So that's the good news. It's coming soon. And it's bigger than ever. It's also the beginning of the end. Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons.
"It proved too large to tell in four, but – as you’ll see for yourselves – we are now hurtling towards our finale. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; season 5 will be the last.”
