A new teaser for season four of "Stranger Things" has been released on Thursday, giving a look at Eleven's dark past in the next chapter of the beloved Netflix show.
Season 3 featured the gang had an epic showdown against the Mind Flayer at the pristine Starcourt Mall, in July 1985. The series closed with the beloved Jim Hopper (David Harbour) seemingly dead, the Byers family leaving town and the Russians’ facility destroyed.
The new teaser featured Eleven (played by Millie Bobby Brown) appeared to be locked behind a door in the very sort of institution she was raised in. “Eleven, are you listening?” a voice says, causing her eyes to shoot wide open.
Much of the clip surveys a grim playroom of children that mirror Eleven from Season 1. They were spotted with shaved heads and wearing hospital gowns while playing with various games and toys. They were interrupted when a white-haired man in a gray suit appears. They call him "Papa", a.k.a. Dr. Martin Brenner, the former scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy who raised test subjects at Hawkins Lab, including Eleven.

The new season will feature eight new cast members, including series regulars Jamie Campbell Bower, Eduardo Franco, and Joseph Quinn. It will take place in Russia, whose evil masterminds have continually been behind the unfolding Cold War-era chaos in Hawkins.
No premiere date has been announced yet.
The Duffer Brothers developed the series as a mix of investigative drama alongside supernatural elements portrayed with childlike sensibilities. They set the series in the 1980s and created an homage to the pop culture of that decade. Several themes and directorial aspects were inspired and aesthetically informed by the works of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, and Stephen King, among others, including several films, anime, and video games.
The first season of "Stranger Things" starred Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Cara Buono, and Matthew Modine, with Noah Schnapp and Joe Keery in recurring roles. For the second season, Schnapp and Keery were made series regulars, as were newly cast Sadie Sink, Dacre Montgomery, Sean Astin, and Paul Reiser, with Priah Ferguson appearing in a recurring role. Maya Hawke joined the cast for the third season, while Ferguson was promoted to a series regular.
It was released as a Netflix original series premiering on July 15, 2016, and takes place in a town called Hawkins, in Indiana in the early-to-mid 1980s. When a young boy vanishes, Hawkins becomes engulfed in an extraordinary mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces, and one strange little girl.
"Stranger Things" has earned 31 Emmy nominations, including two for Outstanding Drama.
