The multi-year wait for one of Netflix\u2019s biggest shows of all time is almost over. The release of Stranger Things<\/em> Season 4 is just days away \u2014 the first half of it, at any rate.<\/p>\n

According to the latest data from Netflix, Season 3 of this beloved franchise<\/a> from the Duffer brothers has garnered more than half a billion views alone. Making the prior season the third most-watched<\/a> English-language show on Netflix of all time (after Season 1 and 2 of Bridgerton<\/em>). So, it should go without saying that the fan anticipation is pretty much off the charts for the return to Hawkins via the Stranger Things<\/em> Season 4 release coming on Friday, May 27.<\/p>\n

To stoke that fandom even more, the streamer has also released the first eight minutes of the new season early. And you can watch the new footage below.<\/p>\n

The first 8 minutes of the new season<\/h2>\n

The first thing we see in the newly released Stranger Things<\/em> Season 4 footage is a leafy, idyllic suburban vista. Soon enough, a paperboy comes barreling down the street on his bike.<\/p>\n

No talking for a few minutes, but the sounds tell a story of their own \u2014 grounding us in a specific place and time.<\/p>\n

The cheery bell of the paperboy. The carefree whack<\/em> of rolled-up newspapers hitting porches, chairs, and doors. A steaming tea kettle. Hot water, poured into a cup. The crumple of a man unfolding a newspaper, and a pencil scribbling the answers to a crossword puzzle. The distinct scrape of a razor as the man shaves his face in the morning.<\/p>\n

No danger here, right?<\/p>\n

Oh, wait \u2014 the man staring back at us in the mirror, after he comes into focus, is Matthew Modine\u2019s Dr. Brenner, of Hawkins National Laboratories.<\/p>\n

Crap.<\/p>\n

And then the title card: September 8, 1979.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t spoil the rest of it for you, but things quickly turn into a bloody, scream-filled mess. A far cry from the suburban quietude we saw as the new season began.<\/p>\n

Stranger Things<\/em> season 4 release date<\/h2>\n

Now, the important question: When can you watch the rest?<\/p>\n

As we noted above, Stranger Things<\/em> Season 4 will release in two volumes. The first volume will debut on Friday. Volume 2 will be out just over a month later, on July 1st. There will also be a fifth and final season after that.<\/p>\n
