"It's time."

So says the spooky disembodied voice of Stranger Things 4's new Big Bad Vecna in the latest trailer for the upcoming season. Indeed, it is time. Time for us to return to Hawkins after three long years, time for us to catch up with Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the gang, time for us to learn how the heck Hopper (David Harbour) ended up in the Soviet Union.

This new trailer doesn't give much away, but it does leave us with some concerning images. What is that foreboding red landscape, and why is Max (Sadie Sink) there? Why is Steve (Joe Keery) fighting monsters in the Upside Down? What's going on with Eleven in those flashbacks to her time at Hawkins Lab? Hopefully all will become clear when this three-year hiatus comes to an end this Friday.

The first seven episodes of Stranger Things 4 hit Netflix May 27, and the last 2 hit Netflix July 1.
