Netflix is adding a warning card to the StrangerThings4 premiere in light of the shooting on Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas

4” premiere in light of the shooting on Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, which left 21 people dead — including 19 children and two teachers.

The warning card, which will show up for viewers in the U.S. when the episodes launch on Friday, 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.”” Episode 1 for viewers in the U.S. only.

Though it had already been publicly revealed ahead of the Uvalde school shooting, Netflix decided to add a warning card to the premiere episode, given the timing of the premiere in relation to the tragedy, and because this particular scene is very graphic. The steps taken by Netflix ahead of the “Stranger Things 4” premiere are not the first moves Hollywood has made this week following the shooting at Robb Elementary. Others include Lifetime pushing the release of Mckenna Grace’s “The Bad Seed Returns,” CBS pulling the season finale of “FBI,” and plans changed for the red carpet premieres of “Physical” and “The Orville: New Horizons.

But they should have had a disclaimer even without the Robb shooting, as that trailer of the first episode included graphic depictions of death with bloody children injured and lying dead everywhere. I was surprised the show had gotten so graphic.
