Yahoo Finance Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, and Duffer Brothers Introduce New Stranger Things Season 4 Teaser
Netflix is offering a new sneak peek at season 4 of Stranger Things.
During Saturday's TUDUM: A Netflix Global Fan Event, the streaming service released a teaser for the long-awaited season of the hit series, which is set to premiere in 2022 after being delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the new clip — introduced by Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, and Matt and Ross Duffer — a family of four is seen pulling up to a pristine blue house in a vintage car. Strange happenings begin shortly after they arrive, and eventually, the two children are seen lying lifeless on the foyer floor.
Flash forward to the mid-1980s, when the Stranger Things cast goes looking for clues at the now-abandoned home.

The clip concludes with a grandfather clock chiming at the stroke of midnight, with glass breaking in and around it as it rings.
"The world is full of obvious things, which nobody by any chance ever observes," says Matarazzo's character, Dustin Henderson, in the clip to his bewildered friends.
"Sherlock Holmes," he says after an awkward pause.

David Harbour's Jim Hopper will also be back for season 4 after his fate was left unknown at the end of season 3, when he seemingly perished to save the town of Hawkins.
Hopper's return was confirmed in February 2020 when Netflix dropped a teaser titled, "From Russia with love …" In the short clip, a snowy scene showed workers constructing a railway line — and one of them was revealed to be a bald Hopper.
