Noticeably missing from the new footage is our dear Sheriff Hopper (played by David Harbour). From the looks of things, the fourth season takes this even further, allowing the new setting, characters and situations to further explore that palette. With the exemplary “Stranger Things 3,” we saw the show embrace different times of genre fare, and it was all the better for it. Instead of spooky nighttime scares, this trailer is full of crisp daytime action, seemingly owing more to action movies of the period than the horror/sci-fi that the show usually leans on. We get, in quick succession, a series of classically “Stranger Things” scenes: a neon-lit ’80s roller-skating rink Winona Ryder opening a box and finding a haunted-looking (Russian!?) doll lots of gunfire Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman) listening to something and looking concerned an underground bunker an ominous dial being turned and a giant explosion blossoming out of the desert. And that’s where the real madness begins. As Eleven excitedly proclaims that it will be “the best spring break ever,” the screen cuts to black.
