Netflix has released a series of new photos giving fans a first-look at the adaptation - and it looks seriously good. Taking to Twitter to discuss the series, we think it’s fair to say that fans of the graphic novel were suitably excited.

Speaking about the series, co-creators the Russo Brothers wrote: "With nine scripts, over eight-hundred pages, almost two years of filming, thousands of visual effects shots, and a runtime nearly twice the length of any previous season, Stranger Things 4 was the most challenging season yet, but also the most rewarding one."
