Netflix confirmed the news on Monday, only three months after the release of the much-beloved show’s third season.
The 35-second clip opens up with the classic Stranger Things theme and logo — with the number 4 appearing behind it — as done in all prior seasons. Though this time around, the red glow of the title card flickers on and off before its colours invert entirely.
A light then flashes, and the logo is seen in the fictional, yet terrifying “upside down” world, where the words are quickly overgrown by tree branches.
For the fourth year in a row, the Duffer Brothers, the show’s creators and producers, are returning in charge of the series and have also signed “a multi-year film and series deal,” according to a statement released by Netflix.

“We can’t wait to see what the Duffer Brothers have in store when they step outside the world of The Upside Down,” said Sarandos on the upcoming season.
