A "Stranger Things 4" news profile, @StrangerNews11, posted to Twitter two photos from the series' set. (Editor's note: We aren't embedding the photos here, as they appear to be taken by paparazzi or another unidentifiable photographer. You can view them in full on Twitter.) Not only do these photos serve as the perfect things to get fans hyped about the show's upcoming season, but they also hint at what's to come.
The first photo shows the front of Hawkins High School, which appears to be boarded up with no signs of anyone inside. Camped out in front of the school is a large, canvas military tent. The second photo, which has @strangerthingsbr watermarked over it, reveals at least four large military trucks parked outside the school, though what they're carrying (or getting read to load) is a mystery. The caption for the photos reads, "MILITARY VEHICLES ARE ARRIVING AT THE FILMING LOCATION... SOMETHING IS HAPPENING AT HAWKINS HIGH SCHOOL!!"
It looks like school is back in session at Hawkins, but of course, it won't be like any other normal school year. There's a chance that Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) and El won't even be attending Hawkins High School, given that they were seen driving away in a moving truck and heading to another town. Will a new threat draw Will, El, and the rest of the Byers family back to Hawkins in Season 4? Are there soldiers coming after El, or is there some other sinister new alien attacking the students? It looks like we'll have to wait to find out for certain.
