Stranger Thingsfans unite!
After part one of the Netflix hit’s fourth season premiered on Friday, fans of the show began to trend on Twitter as they expressed their love and concern forJoe Keery’s character, Steve Harrington.
“If even a scratch is laid on Steve Harrington in ST4, im [sic] coming for the duffers,” one usertweeted, referring to the creators of the series,Ross and Matt Duffer.
“If Steve Harrington dies this season you will never hear from me again,” another fantweeted.
“they can kill any stranger things character except for steve harrington,“wrote someone else.
“keep steve harrington safe stranger things or i’m coming for you,“added one user.
In the new season, which picks up around six months after the Battle of Starcourt, a new and horrifying supernatural threat called Vecna arises and threatens the safety of Hawkins.
After realizing the threat, some of the show’s main characters decide to confront it directly. Towards the end of the part one, Steve decides to go in search of another opening to the Upside Down but ends up getting brutally injured.

Keery, 30, recently toldTotal Filmmagazine that season 4 is “pretty amazing” and that “the Duffer brothers have really done it again.”
“I think that this year – and I know I say this every single year – but this is definitely going to be a lot scarier than prior years, because last year was pretty dark,” he said.
Sink, 20, also shared similar sentiments inher interview with PEOPLEearlier this month.
“It’s the most bizarre season we’ve ever had,” she said. “Just the scale of it is out of this world.”
