Netflix adds Stranger Things 4 warning card in US after Uvalde school shooting
The streamer has also added new warnings to the episode's description, including "graphic violence involving children" and "disturbing images".
Netflix has added a warning card to the first episode of Stranger Things' fourth season following the school shooting in Ulvade, Texas which killed 21 people earlier this week.
The card, which only shows up for viewers in the US, reads: "We filmed this season of Stranger Things a year ago. But given the recent tragic shooting at a school in Texas, viewers may find the opening scene of episode 1 distressing.
"We are deeply saddened by this unspeakable violence, and our hearts go out to every family mourning a loved one."
