Netflix released new teaser for "Stranger Things 4" with a peek at several upcoming scenes.
There were a few surprises in the footage, like Eleven's very Joyce-esque haircut.
Netflix also made the slightly unexpected announcement that season four won't arrive until 2022.

Let's start with the most surprising moments. For one, Eleven looks like a Joyce doppelganger with this new haircut.

That "new" outfit looks exactly like the oversized flannel shirts and long-sleeve floral top that she wore a lot in season two.

Netflix didn't even wait a full year after the season three finale to confirm that Hopper was actually alive. Now he's wandering around with a flamethrower in the new trailer.

It was also interesting that we didn't see Will or Mike in this new batch of footage.

We also got a look at some of the Hawkins High cheerleaders, a stark reminder that all the "kids" are at least freshman in high school.

OK, now onto the less surprising parts of the trailer. Many of the shots are very vague, like this scene of Steve swimming.
