At long last, Stranger Things fans are about to return to Hawkins in the US state of Indiana and, hopefully, get answers to some long-awaited questions.

Why is Hopper in Russia? Did Eleven really lose her powers? And where exactly did the show leave off again?

It’s been almost three years since season three debuted on Netflix – plenty of time for even the most diehard fans to forget some important details. The new season, arriving May 27, picks up six months after season three, with the friends separated for the first time and “navigating the complexities of high school”. Seven episodes will be released, with two more to drop on July 1.

To jog your memory before the new season drops, here are the biggest cliffhangers and questions from season three.
