***SPOILERS AHEAD***

The first trailer for Stranger Things' fourth season is here. And the 50-second teaser has fans talking as the fate of series favorite Jim Hopper is revealed.

Though audiences saw the Indiana cop obliterated during last season's finale, the trailer - titled From Russia With Love - shows Hopper alive but far, far from home.

The brief clip begins with a snowy scene, which zooms in to show people laboring away at a Siberian work camp. One of the prisoners: none other than our hero, Jim Hopper, played by David Harbour.
