Netflix has today whetted the appetite of Stranger Things fans by dropping 12 awesome first look images ahead of the premiere of the TV series' highly-anticipated fourth season.

Showcasing all of our favourite characters - including the presumed-dead Sheriff Hopper (David Harbour) - as well as a couple of new faces, the glimpse of the new batch of episodes is enough to get us excited before it debuts in late May, 2022.

You can check out all 12 of the new pictures below, as well as the trailer for Season 4:
