Netflix has teased the arrival of Stranger Things season 4, which joins a roster of flagship franchises returning after an extended absence.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

After a so-so year for the streamer, Netflix is finally getting its big shows back on the service.

Weve already got release dates (or months) for highly-anticipated series like The Witcher season 2 , Cobra Kai season 4 and Sex Education season 3 and
now, thanks to a new teaser trailer, we also know that Stranger Things season 4 will definitely be returning in 2022.

Initially expected to release this year, the mega-popular sci-fi show was hampered by pandemic-related production delays, with filming halted in March last year and not resuming until September. With a 2022 arrival now
confirmed, we're hoping Stranger Things will return in the early months of next year. Best Netflix movies Best Netflix shows Netflix's expansion into gaming will kick off with mobile uop psdn u ll, sStranger Things returns in 2022. pic.twitter.com/RHwQng4QZh August 6, 2021 See more

Season 4 of the show is set to be the most ambitious yet, with the plot
moving away from Hawkins and into new locations in both the US and Russia following Jim Hoppers supposed death and Elevens relocation.

"As much as it pains our viewers that it will have been so long, executive producer Shawn Levy recently told Collider , we chose season 4 to be by far and I mean by far the most ambitious of the seasons."

In this latest teaser, we get only a small taste of that ambition. Interspersed with clips from previous episodes is some
blink-and-youll-miss-it new footage showing a flame-throwing Hopper and some new shots of the young cast. All the usual suspects return, so were expecting more of the same supernatural hijinks from Dustin, Mike and the gang.

As for why Netflix has decided to share such a tenuous release window for the show now, rather than waiting until later in the year to confirm a single date, speaks to the streamers efforts to promise its subscribers that quality content is on the way. It also ends speculation about the prospect of the
show returning this year, which always seemed unlikely after the filming delay.

Netflix has certainly had a quieter year when it comes to its big, returning series it hasn't stopped it producing new hits like Shadow and Bone,
Sex/Life or Sweet Tooth, but a lot of its most popular programming has been slow to emerge thanks to the pandemic. This summer, in particular, has
yielded a noticeably drier library of original content.

Whats more, with the likes of Disney Plus and HBO Max seemingly benefiting from excellent new additions and viewers every week, the pressure is on Netflix to double-down on its flagship franchises in the coming year to
recoup lost prestige.

This latest tease for Stranger Things fourth season will go some way to reminding subscribers why Netflix has proved so popular in the last decade but its golden geese will need to deliver the goods when they do eventually arrive. Netflix's shows and movies will require all actors to be vaccinated
