THE fourth season of Stranger Things has finally dropped on Netflix – and viewers can’t believe how grown up the child stars look.
As the fourth season premiere of the critically-acclaimed series hit the streaming platform today, fans across the globe have been getting their teeth stuck into it.
After a two-year hiatus, a new threat from the Upside Down emerges, and Joe Keery’s Steve, Natalia Dyer’s Nancy and Maya Hawke’s Robin must stop it once and for all.
However, those who have already raced through the new episodes have taken to Twitter to comment on how grown up the once young actors are now.
Alongside an array of shocked-face emojis, one person penned: “Can’t believe they kept Stranger Things away from us that long! Everyone looks old as f***!”
Echoing their comments, someone else said: “Why do all of the high school kids look so old? They really tried to make it feel like the 80s as much as possible.”

While a third remarked: “Well, that was a mind-blowing few episodes. On another note, they all look so grown up now!”
The fourth season of Stranger Things will be broken up into two different parts.
Therefore, there will be two different premiere dates, a separate date for each part.
The two-parter of season four will not be the end of the story for fans.
However, it looks as if the adventures of the cast will come to an end after the fifth season.
Netflix shared the news announcing that the wide-reaching show is renewed for a fifth and final series.
According to Variety, the showrunners, credited as the Duffer Brothers, shared the heartbreaking news in a letter.
The letter, which was shared on Netflix’s, blog stated: “Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things.
“At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but – as you’ll soon see for yourselves – we are now hurtling toward our finale.”
Stranger Things is available to stream on Netflix.
