‘Stranger Things’ Season 4 confirmed for Netflix

Grab your Eggos: “Stranger Things” is returning.

A fourth season of the massively popular Netflix show is on the way, the streaming company announced Monday.

No word on a release date for the fourth season of the show, which last left the pubescent heroes of Hawkins victorious against their supernatural supermonster, the Demogorgon, but without their portly leader, Sheriff Jim Hopper (David Harbour). A final scene from the third season hinted that the evils they faced in the first three seasons might not be limited to quaint Hawkins. And a teaser trailer released by Netflix on Monday seemed to confirm that hint.

“We’re not in Hawkins anymore,” the trailer read with an ominous scene from the Upside Down.

Still, a statement from the Duffer Brothers assured fans that they won’t be leaving the beloved town entirely: “We can’t wait to tell many more stories together — beginning, of course, with a return trip to Hawkins!”

The show’s third season, which premiered at the start of the long Fourth of July weekend, brought Netflix an unprecedented amount of binge-watchers. The streaming company tweeted at the end of that weekend that “40.7 million household accounts have been watching the show since its July 4 global launch — more than any other film or series in its first four days. And 18.2 million have already finished the entire season.”

Given that, the upcoming deal is bound to be sizable. Deadline reports that the Duffer Brothers could stand to nab a multiyear pact similar to the one Netflix signed with Game Of Thrones’ David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

We can only hope that Steve “The Hair” Harrington’s godawful bowl cut will not be making an appearance in the fourth season.
