Netflix has issued a last minute content warning ahead of the new season of Stranger Things.
It follows the mass school shooting in Texas on Tuesday where two teachers and 19 school children were killed.
The streaming service says viewers may be disturbed by some scenes in the first episode of Season 4 titled ‘Chapter One: The Hellfire Club’
“We filmed this season of Stranger Things a year ago,” the warning reads. “But given the recent tragic shooting at a school in Texas, viewers may find the opening scene of episode one distressing. We are deeply saddened by this unspeakable violence, and our hearts go out to every family mourning a loved one.”
The warning however will only show for viewers in the US.
A Netflix spokesperson told the Hollywood Reporter: “We decided to add the card given the proximity of the premiere to this tragedy – and because the opening scene is very graphic.”
A teaser featuring some of these scenes had previously been uploaded to YouTube, but it has since been taken down.
