What happens in Stranger Things 4?

Based on the teasers and the trailers we've seen so far, Stranger Things 4 is set to follow four different storylines in several different locations.

In Hawkins, we see Dustin, Steve, Robin, Lucas, Max, Nancy and Erica team up to investigate the creepy goings on in town to do with the Creel House. New character Eddie Munson joins them, and at some point, they end up in the Upside Down.

In California, there appears to be two storylines at play. One involving Eleven and Dr. Owens, presumably focusing on her getting her powers back, and the other involving Mike, Will, Jonathan and new character Argyle who get caught up in the danger at the Byers' new house.

And then finally, there's the Russia storyline involving Hopper, who is currently stuck in a Soviet prison, and Joyce and Murray who look like they're about to try to go and rescue him.

With everyone so spread out and dealing with different threats, it's unclear how (or even if) they will all end up in the same place at the end of the season... we'll just have to wait and see!
