What you need to know

  • Stranger Things fans can now set their Reddit avatar to one of four show-themed options.
  • The fourth season of Stranger Things will premiere on Friday, May 27.

Fans of the Netflix show Stranger Things can celebrate the arrival of the show's fourth season by changing their Reddit avatar to now of a handful of custom characters.

The move comes as Netflix subscribers ready themselves for the premiere of the Stranger Things season four this Friday, May 27. Reddit announced the new avatar options a few days ago and they can all be found in the website's avatar builder right now.

To help celebrate the much-anticipated launch of Season 4 of Stranger Things, today Reddit is unveiling new custom avatars inspired by characters from the show. You can now update your avatar to become the Demogorgon, Eleven, Hopper, or Scoops Ahoy Steve.

The fourth season of one of Netflix's biggest shows is a huge deal for the streamer. It comes at a time when it is struggling for new subscribers and is already planning an ad-supported tier in an attempt to lure people in. Netflix is a costly option in the streaming world, costing as much as four times the $4.99 that Apple TV+ subscribers currently pay. However, as great a value as Apple TV+ might be, it doesn't have Stranger Things and we all know what we'll be doing this Friday!

That's after we've all changed our Reddit avatars, of course.
