An official release date for Stranger Things' highly anticipated fourth series has yet to be revealed but that hasn't stopped its cast from teasing what's to come for Hawkins' current (and former) residents.

Actress Sadie Sink, who plays Max Mayfield in the Netflix hit series, is the latest cast member to hint at what we can expect. Speaking to the PA news agency, she said season four would be “definitely a really, really dark season".

Considering previous seasons included a 'doctor' who experiments on children, two inter-dimensional monsters with super creepy designs, and a secret Russian base under a mall, that's certainly saying something.

“Each season the production scale gets bigger and bigger and the stakes are really, really high this year, as they are always,” Sink added. “But there’s something about this season, it’s really intense.”

As if excitement wasn't already at an all time high.

Though filming has yet to officially wrap on the fourth series, a brand new Stranger Things season four trailer was released last month to tide us over until it finally lands on Netflix, and we can already get a glimpse of what Sink means.

It appears as though Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine), Eleven's father figure before Hopper stepped in, isn't dead. But he's also probably not alive, exactly. We last saw him being mauled to death by the Demogorgon in season one, but as, Modine himself told NME: “The show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, have said that unless you see a body, the character’s not dead. And obviously we never saw Doctor Brenner’s body.”
