Stranger Things Season 4 Teaser: Is Eleven Okay?

at .  Updated at .

Stranger Things is bringing a former villain back into the fold.

Netflix dropped a new Stranger Things Season 4 teaser on Thursday, and it teases a cataclysmic event that could have dire consequences for Eleven.

It looks like Martin Brenner is back in the mix -- or at least someone who looks like him is back up to his old tricks.

Eleven on Stranger Things Season 4

We get to see a nursery for the people with special abilities, and well, all of the kids refer to him as Papa, just like Eleven did back in the day.

The trailer shows Martin walking down the corridor as the camera pans down the corridor to focus on room No. 11.

Martin says that he has "something very special planned" for the kids that day, but we don't get any confirmation on what it is.

When the camera does reach room No. 11, we hear the following dialogue:

"Eleven, are you listening?"

We also see Eleven's eyes spring open because she's clearly struggling to comprehend what is actually going on.

Could this be time travel, or could Martin be haunting this kid from another dimension?

The Shock of Her Life - Stranger Things Season 3 Episode 4

We've seen some nefarious forces at play throughout the series' three-season run, and we can only expect the series to be darker than ever before when it returns.

We still don't have a definite premiere date for the series, but Finn Wolfhard recently told a fan to expect the series to return next year.

Production on Stranger Things Season 4 kicked off in February 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic brought it to a halt swiftly, but we know the show is well into production at this stage.

Details are still scarce, but we know a lot about the new faces headed to Hawkins in the fourth season, and they include Robert Englund.

Robert Englund Promotes Freddy Vs. Jason

Englund is on board as Victor Creel, a disturbed and intimidating man imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital.

The other new cast members include:

- Eduardo Franco aka Argyle: a fun-loving stoner, pizza delivery boy, & Jonathan's new best friend.

- Jamie Campbell Bower aka Peter Ballard: a caring man who works as an orderly at a psychiatric hospital.

David Harbour Promotes Stranger Things

- Tom Wlaschiha aka Dmitri: a smart and charming Russian prison guard.

- Nikola Djuricko aka Yuri: an unpredictable Russian smuggler who loves bad jokes, cold hard cash, and crunchy style peanut butter.
