When is Netflix Stranger Things season 4 available to watch?

We have been waiting a heck of a long time - three years almost - for the fourth instalment of Netflix's hit nostalgic sci-fi horror Stranger Things.

Now the streaming service has revealed the release date, or dates we should say, as season four will be released in two parts.

Part one will be out on May 27 while the second part will be released five weeks later on July 1.

In a note from creators, the Duffer Brothers, Matt and Ross, series four will also be the penultimate season for Stranger Things, which first debuted on Netflix in 2016.

They wrote in a statement: "With nine scripts, over eight-hundred pages, almost two years of filming, thousands of visual effect shots and a runtime nearly twice the length of any previous season, Stranger Things 4 was the most challenging season yet, but also the most rewarding one."

Adding it will be "bigger than ever" and that it's going to be split into two volumes to get it to viewers "as soon as possible," the statement was accompanied by four new images of the show, each showing groups of characters in different locations. The Lab (probably Hawkins), Russia, Creel House - a new location and California.

As we saw at the end of series three, the Hawkins gang was split with Chief Hopper (David Harbour) transported to a USSR prison, Joyce along with Jonathan, Will, Eleven went to California, while the remainder stayed in Hawkins, the setting for the past three seasons.

The official synopsis reads: "It’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn't made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down."

Stream the first three seasons of Stranger Things on Netflix now.
