Stranger Things 4 Teaser Trailer- Hopper is Alive in Russia

Stranger Things 4 is definitely leaving Hopkins behind

Stranger Things 4 is one of the most anticipated TV series of the recent times. The fans are eagerly waiting for the spooky show to return. One of the questions that have been bothering the fans was whether Sheriff Jim Hopper is still alive or he lost his life to save his close friends and the town of Hawkins.

Fans last saw Hopper at the end of Stranger Things 3 when he got trapped at the entrance of the Upside Down and sacrificed himself by signalling Joyce to close the entrance. everyone assumed that he might be alive thanks to a mid-credits scene in which a Russian prison was shown where a mysterious “American” and a Demogorgon are kept.

Netflix has been quiet about whether Hopper will return to Stranger Things 4 or not. Now, they have confirmed his return via a teaser trailer. The trailer is set in a snowy wasteland Kamchatka where he will be facing human and “other” dangers.

The teaser trailer of Stranger Things 4 is entitled ‘From Russia with Love’. It reveals a new setting for the series as Kamchatka is very different from the plains of Hawkins. It’s even different from the shadowy and dark Upside Down.

In the trailer, fans can see a new face, Tom Wlaschiha, who played the role of Jaqen H’ghar in Game of Thrones. This time Netflix has not revealed the entire cast of the show before the filming, which is unusual. Fans would have to wait and see who else is added to the show’s cast.

Though Netflix has kept mum about Hopper’s return, David Harbour, who plays the character, confirmed his return long before the release of the Stranger Things 4 trailer. He confirmed it during the first interview after the finale of season 3 and then tried to fix the situation by immediately walking the quotes back.

Have a look at Stranger Things 4 teaser trailer below and also have a look at the note shared by Duffer Brothers as well as Shawn Levy (producer and director) on the new season. The official release date hasn’t been revealed yet, but it is unlikely that it will be released this year.

“We’re excited to officially confirm that production on Stranger Things 4 is now underway — and even more excited to announce the return of Hopper! Although it’s not all good news for our “American”; he is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human…and other. Meanwhile, back in the states, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything….

Season 4 is shaping up to be the biggest and most frightening season yet, and we cannot wait for everyone to see more. In the meantime — pray for the American.”

From Russia with love,

The Duffer Brothers

“From the start, Stranger Things has been inspiring to all of us lucky enough to work on it. My adventure here in Lithuania in bringing the reveal of the “American” to life has been a huge challenge but an even bigger inspiration, and we are so thankful to the city of Vilnius and the beautiful country of Lithuania for their hospitality. The Duffers and I have been working alongside the brilliant Netflix team for months to pull off this surprise. All the hard work was worth it, however, to bring our fans—the greatest fans in the world— this epic reveal they’ve been hoping and waiting for. And this is only the beginning…” – Shawn Levy
