It's clear from the promo that Eleven has still lost her powers and isn't so popular at school, but may just get them back by the time the season is done. Meanwhile, Max is mourning the loss of her brother Billy and seems to have gained new powers herself. Jim Hopper has been sent to a gulag of sorts, where he's finding a new mission and the threat of the Upside Down is as prevalent as ever. And those monsters they were fighting last time around? There seems to be at least one of them who is sentient, anthropomorphous and is who is very much giving 'Big Boss' energy.

What will Stranger Things season 4 be about?

The official description of season 4 reads: "It’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time — and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down."
