Warning: SPOILERS lie ahead for Stranger Things season 4 part 1.
Audiences are still reeling from the reveals of the recently released episodes and now the Stranger Things season 4 part 1 trailer has revealed the first look at the remainder of the new season. The latest chapter of the hit sci-fi Netflix series picks up six months after the events of season 3 as Eleven and the Byers are still adjusting tot heir new lives in California while the rest of the young group navigate the difficulties of high school. The group realize they must come back together when a dangerous new threat they name the Vecna emerges from the Upside Down with ties to Eleven's past, all while Joyce and Murray try to get Hopper out of Russia.
Millie Bobby Brown returns to lead the cast of Stranger Things season 4 alongside Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Brett Gelman, Joseph Quinn and Priah Ferguson. Production on season 4 took longer than prior seasons due to multiple COVID-related delays and the longest episodes to come yet from the show. After a near three-year hiatus, Stranger Things season 4 debuted to large acclaim from critics for its return to the horror focus of season 1 and deeper world building.
On the heels of part 1 premiering on Netflix, a secret Stranger Things season 4 part 2 trailer was attached to the end of episode 7. Now, YouTube channel RLG has released the trailer in 4K, which teases what's to come from the final two episodes of the season, including the seeming return of the Mind Flayer.

Netflix attaching the Stranger Things season 4 part 2 trailer to the end of one of its seasons isn't the first time the streaming platform has promoted its shows in a similar vein. Most recently, the first trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin was attached to the end of the season 2 finale's credits for the Henry Cavill series, while also having previously included a post-credits tease for The Punisher spinoff series to the post-credits of Daredevil season 2. With the former having eventually been released online by the streaming platform, it seems likely Netflix will themselves release the Stranger Things season 4 part 2 trailer at some point in the near future.
Though receiving some criticisms for an overstuffed story, the first part of Stranger Things season 4 has received largely positive reviews and left many on the edge of their seats waiting for part 2's premiere this July with episode 7 finally seeing Joyce and Hopper reunited and the truth behind Vecna's existence and ties to Eleven and the Upside Down. The Stranger Things season 4 part 2 trailer points to a pulse-pounding closure to the new season, including the potential return of the Mind Flayer, as seen by Hopper discovering a tank with a mist entity akin to that seen possessing Will in season 2. The wait for the final two episodes of the season won't be long as Stranger Things season 4 part 2 premieres on July 1.
