Meanwhile, in the wake of the elementary school shooting that occurred on 24 May in Uvalde, Texas, Netflix has added a content warning for US viewers to the first episode of the season.
The episode purportedly begins with a violent scene that graphically depicts several dead children.
The warning will read: “We filmed this season of Stranger Things a year ago. But given the recent tragic shooting in Texas, viewers may find the opening scene of episode one distressing. We are deeply saddened by this unspeakable violence, and our hearts go out to every family mourning a loved one.”
Stranger Things 4 premieres today.
