STRANGER Things season 4 is officially underway - and by the looks of the latest footage, the cast are just as thrilled as fans.
The hit Netflix series whetted viewers' appetites last month with a sneak peek at Jim Hopper's (David Harbour) fate.
It emerged that the Hawkins Sheriff had in fact survived the explosion at the Starcourt Mall and had been captured by the Russians, before being put to work in a labour camp.
The latest footage was decidedly lighter in nature though, as the likes of Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder and Finn Wolfhard beamed away at the official script read-through.
Finn wasted no time grabbing a suitably retro camera and snapping all kinds of shots of his co-star as they dived into the plot of the upcoming episodes.
Underscored by electro synths and with a grainy filter dating the footage, the video was certainly on brand.
