Stranger Things is one of the series that helped bump Netflix up to the next level and it’s been a long time since we’ve seen any new episodes. Part one of the 9-episode 4th season is set to drop on May 27 and today the streamer has released some new pics from the upcoming episodes. As to why they’ve decided to split the season, it looks like the episodes are going to be much longer. In fact, the runtime of season 4 is twice as long as any previous season.

Here’s the Season 4 Synopsis:

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.
