Stranger Things was renewed for its fourth season back in late September. Netflix released a freaky teaser trailer to announce the news, with the slogan "We're not in Hawkins anymore." What the mysterious words are referring to is anyone's guess, but some theories claim that it could be referring to the new town Will and his family moved to or the Russian prison that was teased at the end of Season 3.

Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things stars Winona Ryder, Millie Bobbie Brown, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Priah Ferguson, Cary Elwes, Jake Busey and Maya Thurman-Hawke. The first three seasons are currently available on Netflix, with a fourth in development.
