Welcome! Let's get right to it. The highly anticipated Season 4 of Stranger Things FINALLY has a release date — well, sort of. It's more like a release year.
That's right, folks! Stranger Things will return in 2022. And to hype us up for the news, they've released a new teaser.

The teaser is mostly made up of old clips and flashbacks we've seen in previous teasers, but the end shows a couple new things. Like Hopper with a flamethrower looking ready to kick ass and take names.
There's also a clock chiming in the trailer — a past teaser opened with a clock, and when the season was first announced, there was a clock pictured in the Upside Down.
We also see some sort of fire/car crash...
Steve looking for something underwater...
Some cheerleaders...
The kids up to something again...
And, most notably, El being held back by these two official-looking guys.
Now, it's this last image that's really caught people's attention. People are noticing just a *small* (okay, huge) similarity in El and Joyce's hairstyles.
OMG LOOK HOW SIMILAR THEIR HAIR LOOKS, IMAGINE JOYCE BEING A MOM TO EL AND DOING HER HAIR AHHHH
You'll remember that El moved away with Will and Joyce at the end of Season 3 — which means it's pretty darn likely Joyce gave El this haircut.

Joyce's hair has always been an iconic shag, but she really found her perfect style last season, and it looks like El's copying her look.
This is significant because El's hair has also very much signified where she's at in the series.
But that's not the only part of the quick teaser people are breaking down. Everyone's also stoked to see Hopper back...
THE RETURN OF THE KING! #StrangerThings4
...As well as the kids...
THEY GREW UP SO FAST #StrangerThings
Notably, neither El nor Will are with them — they moved with Joyce at the end of last season.
...and Robin with the gang!!
Robin being with the group is very important to me this morning #StrangerThings
As well as Nancy looking pretty darn badass.

Though some are definitely worried about this car crash/fire scene...
im not saying this is joyce’s pinto on fire but. what if it’s joyce’s pinto on fire
...I guess we'll just have to wait until 2022 to see what it all means!!! I'm already counting down the days. Until then, check out everything else we know about the season here!
