When Netflix released the trailer of volume 2, fans were on the verge that what will happen next in the series. Volume 2 will be darker and will be tough and intense for the entire kid gang as Vecna is on its full power. On June 21, the OTT platform Netflix dropped the trailer it's one of the much-hyped series Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 2, and soon after that, the internet exploded as several rumours and predictions were flooding online that what will happen next in Volume 2.

Stranger Things Season 4 was split into two parts by Netflix, with the first released on May 27. Fans who have been unable to binge-watch the entire season in ...

In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down." Stranger Things Season 4 was split into two parts by Netflix, with the first released on May 27. The smash-hit science fiction horror returns to Netflix in July.

We also can't forget that Joyce and Hopper have officially reunited in Kamchatka, Russia with the help of Murray Bauman, and Steve has suffered some demobat ...

He is actually also the young Creel boy, Henry, who got a grasp of his powers early on when his family first moved to that house in Hawkins. He was the one who killed all the animals and then his mother and sister. He went into a coma after trying to kill his dad, and then he woke up in the care of Dr. Brenner, who had seen him once before. In particular, the memories build up a relationship she formed with orderly Peter Ballard (Jamie Campbell Bower). Peter helps coach Eleven to strengthen her powers, and later he offers to help her escape the lab entirely. Basketball captain Jason Carver goes on a hunt for Eddie after the police reveal to him that they think Eddie killed Chrissy. Lucas goes along for the ride, but he runs away and reunites with the gang eventually. Eleven has been building up to the fateful day that started Season 4, going back through her memories of what led up to the moment. Nancy, Robin and Eddie follow him into the Upside Down, saving him from vicious demobats that continue to bite him. Jonathan had had the idea to call his friend Argyle (Eduardo Franco) who works at Surfer Boy Pizza, to both deliver them a pizza and give them a lift away from the house to go find Eleven. Argyle arrives right as the military guys are ransacking the house and gets the boys to safety. Dr. Sam Owens (Paul Reiser) and his agents track her down and intercept her, updating Eleven on what has been happening in Hawkins, and telling her she is the only hope of saving her friends. When Eleven says she doesn’t have her powers, Owens says there is a way for her to get them back — The Nina Project — but she has to leave with him right then to go there, and there is a chance that if it doesn’t work, she won’t see her friends again. When he reaches the rainbow room, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) is facing a mirrored wall that has shattered, and she turns toward him with blood all over her hospital gown as well as streaming from both nostrils and even her eyes. He and Antonov are the only survivors, and the reunion hug between him and Joyce is reward enough for now. We also can’t forget that Joyce and Hopper have officially reunited in Kamchatka, Russia with the help of Murray Bauman, and Steve has suffered some demobat bites, so his health is also of the utmost importance (protect Steve at all costs).

Now finally all prayers will be answered and speculations will come to an end once the Volume 2 releases. It is said that the episodes of Volume 2 will be 85 minutes long and the final episode will be approximately 2 and half hours long.

1. Eddie Munson is 010. Remember when Eddie mentioned that his hair was buzzed as a kid? Well, he could be teasing a former stay at Hawkins Lab. A few fans are ...

If you’ve been paying close attention to the first part of volume one, you might have noticed that the name Ruth is mentioned on a few occasions. However, it’s very likely that Murray won’t make it to the end of this season alive. Would also kind of bring his arc to a natural close, starting off as the loner who wanted nothing to do with any of these people to dying to ensure their safety.” They also mentioned that there’s likely more to the school’s guidance counselor than meets the eye, which could also be a clue. I think there’s a big chance part of the final battle could be at the high school, since there’s been a bunch of set pics of army trucks outside of Hawkins High.” What I’m saying is that they fail on closing the gates between the Upside Down and the real world.” Confirming season 5 is the last season also reinforces this theory.” I’d bet that it’s not so much that the writers have forgotten about Will or don’t know what to do with him, but more that he’s integral to the larger plot/resolution. I bet we find out that Will is the most important character, and this makes his (actual) death necessary to save everyone and ‘stop’ the Upside once and for all.” LISTEN. You’re telling me Brenner just figured out how to create a bunch of telekinetic babies artificially and that quickly after studying One? This may be dark for Stranger Things, but what if he inseminated some women/test subjects (including El’s mother) with One’s…DNA? I just don’t see how floating around in a salt bath and taking psychedelics can give fetuses powers, like how they said El’s powers were possibly harnessed. He had the neck tingle and reactions to the creatures, but with El around, this is hardly useful. There’s something significant about him that caused that to be the case. This predicted act of saving Nancy will close out his storyline as a hero.”

Death is coming to Hawkins, but who is more likely to meet their end in the last two episodes of the fourth season? stranger-things-season-4 ...

Out of all the characters in the series, Steve is the most likely to sacrifice himself and not make it out alive of the Upside Down. The first volume indicated his fate pretty quickly, outlining Steve’s death at every turn. From his newfound – and returning – romantic interest in Nancy, his character growth throughout the seasons, and the wounds he sustained during his trip to the Upside Down, Steve is more likely not making it out alive. Still, meeting her end could be a way for the show to bring a lot of emotions as she has been the emotional core of many relationships in the series. He has been depicted as this guy who is afraid and runs away, so to have him sacrifice himself for his new friends, being the hero – something he doesn’t think he is – seems to be a fitting end for a character like him. With Max (Sadie Sink) still in danger and their relationship still on thin ice, Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) doesn’t seem very likely to die, more likely having to watch the person he cares about – even loves – die at the end of Vecna. The show made a point to show how Lucas wanted to be part of two worlds, and with him being so separate from his friends, it could be possible that he sacrifices himself or dies trying to protect everyone. With Joyce (Winona Ryder) in Russia and reuniting with Hopper (David Harbour) in the last moments of the first volume, it is more likely that Joyce will make it to Season 5. With her inquisitive mind, she has put together most of what the group knows about the Upside Down and Vecna, and now is the only one – alongside Eleven – that knows his true identity. The show doesn’t seem to know what to do with him, so saying that he could be a casualty unrelated to the upcoming confrontation with Vecna is very likely. Given the fact that he is so closely connected to Max and with his actions in the first volume, there is a point that could be made with having him die so that the others could survive, but more likely than none, Lucas will live past the show’s last two episodes and probably have to witness someone he loves die in front of him. It would be shocking if he makes it unscathed, a lot could go wrong in the last two episodes, but Will seems to be more of an endgame death than the penultimate season death. Mike (Finn Wolfhard) has been pretty disconnected from the main story this season, with him still having very little knowledge of what is happening in Hawkins and not even knowing anything about Vecna. His death would be one of the more surprising ones, especially since it is still unclear if the group looking for Eleven will make it to Hawkins in time for the final confrontation. With him being so far away from all the action of Hawkins alongside Mike, Argyle (Eduardo Franco), and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), there is little to point toward meeting his end by this season.

With the penultimate season of Stranger Things hitting Netflix, we put together a skill-testing game. Here's our Stranger Things quiz.

And let us know if there are any quizzes you’d like to see at Android Authority. We won’t give anything away, but the Duffers are clearly setting up a big finale to lead into the show’s final season. Do you binge new seasons as soon as they drop?

Without Eleven's powers, it was impossible for anyone to stop this powerful enemy. So, Eleven recalls some of the most terrible childhood memories to uncover ...

The show creators confirmed that Part 2 of Stranger Things’ latest season would feature only two episodes. The streaming platform will update the library with new episodes at 12 AM PDT (Pacific Timing); however, the release time will vary depending on your region. Netflix released Part 1 of Stranger Things Season 4 on May 27th, 2022, which featured the first seven episodes.

Mike feels like a lock to make it through, mostly because at this point he's too annoying to die. Hopper and Joyce feel safe too. Not everyone trying to get out ...

Now that she’s trapped in The Upside-Down with Vecna Steve’s going to be leading the charge to save her, and it is going to cost him dearly. With Max so deeply connected to Vecna and The Upside-Down, her life is going to be on the line. As I mentioned above, Eddie is a natural replacement for Steve. To me, everything is lining up for a heart-wrenching death of everyone’s favorite babysitter/hair icon/human punching bag. She will escape and finish the job that Henry Kreel/001/Peter Ballard/Vecna started. Our sweet Argyle may well do the same as the crew is going to put them in major danger. I believe the creators wanted us to think it was over Nancy, but it could easily be Argyle who they are mourning. Eleven will get her powers back and then some, and see the danger her friends are in. With the exception of Billy in Season 3, every character with a deep connection to the Upside-Down has been safe. Sacrifice in the name of love is going to be a common theme. Below are my predictions for the five characters who are the most likely to die in the season finale. Meanwhile, Eddie is being set up perfectly to be the new Steve should anything happen to him. Not everyone trying to get out of Russia will be so lucky though…

Here's everything we know about Stranger Things Season 4 so far, including the first teaser trailers, cast details, and more.

"In Season 2, Eleven goes into the ... basement of the cabin, and there's five boxes, one of which has Brenner's stuff from Hawkins Lab, one of which says 'Dad,' and one of which says 'Vietnam,' and one says 'New York,'" he told the crowd. That part never left the human world, and it once again connects to the Mind Flayer when a group of Russian scientists create a small opening in the Gate — more on this later. In the first episode of the season, Dustin intercepts a Russian message with the radio tower he built to communicate with new girlfriend Suzie ( Gabriella Pizzolo). He shares this information with Steve and Robin — Steve's co-worker at the ice cream parlor in Starcourt Mall — and together they crack the code. The Mind Flayer has followed Eleven and her friends to the mall, and they know the only way to destroy it is for Hopper and Joyce to close the Gate — thereby cutting off the Mind Flayer's psychic link to the Upside Down. The duo and Murray go to the mall's underground facilities with this mission. Rabid rats in Hawkins, which Nancy and Jonathan — who are dating this season — investigate without their editors' permission while interning at Hawkins Post. After being repeatedly mocked for her story ideas, Nancy decides to take matters into her own hands and visits the home of Doris Driscoll ( Peggy Miley) with Jonathan. During their first visit, they see a violent rat that Doris has captured — one of many that she says have been eating her bags of fertilizer. Remember the part of the Mind Flayer that was burned from Will in Season 2? The events of Stranger Things Season 4 Part 1 should still be fresh in everyone's minds, but if you are still a bit unclear about the reveal of Vecna's backstory, TV Guide is here to catch you up. If you're looking for a more beat-by-beat breakdown of where everyone is at the end of Part 1, we have that too. According to an interview conducted by Variety with The Duffer Brothers, Episode 9 will be two and a half hours long and contains more visual effects than the entirety of Season 3. If you haven't been able to stop listening to "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" since the first half of Season 4 was released, the trailer for Part 2 won't change that. The full trailer for the supersized final two episodes of Season 4, set to the Kate Bush song that played such a big role in Part 1, was released on June 21, and it teases a massive battle for Hawkins. "I have this terrible feeling," Robin ( Maya Hawke) says in the footage. Two episodes of the Netflix drama are dropping a month after Season 4 Part 1's shocking reveal about Vecna. Heading into the final segment of this installment, we have many questions about Eleven ( Millie Bobby Brown) and her powers.

While there's actually a surprising amount of new content headed to Netflix in July, nothing is generating more hype than Stranger Things 4 Volume 2. This ...

Both episodes will go live at the same time. - 12am PT This second batch of episodes is only two episodes long, but these are two very long episodes.

Everyone's favorite babysitter from Hawkins could become the next sacrifice in 'Stranger Things', whether it's Season 4 Volume 2 or later.

If anything, this billboard is a reminder that although seeing the characters of Hawkins is a comfort for fans, nothing is guaranteed. However, there’s a possibility in order to raise the stakes for the series, there would have to be a shocking turn of events like this. Now, Steve could very well survive the final two episodes (and whopping 235-minute runtime), but his fate may be in doubt for the series’ last season. But if Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Zuko has taught us anything, it’s that a compelling redemption story is one of the most satisfying narrative arcs in any piece of speculative fiction. The fact that Steve has evolved into a de facto babysitter with excellent hair just makes him even more charming. In particular, there’s a literal big sign in the form of a real-life billboard.

Another thing that is different about the fourth season is that it is split up into two batches of episodes. We have seen Netflix do this in the past with shows ...

Are you excited for Stranger Things season 5? When could Stranger Things season 5 come out? The good news is that it shouldn’t be as long as the three-year wait for season 4, with the Duffer Brothers telling Variety:

Ahead of the Stranger Things 4 Volume 2, we recap the story, the cliffhanger, and what to expect from main characters from Hawkins led by Eleven, ...

Many also speculate that Eleven got her extreme powers from Vecna as Henry was in the lab along with Eleven’s mother. After Steve slips into the Mind Lair, forcing his friends Nancy, Robin and Eddie to save him and return back to the main side, the group joins Dustin, Lucas, Max and Priah who help rescue them. He was overpowered by Eleven, and the colliding power of both of them lead to the opening up of a new portal and the creation of Upside Down. Thus, One is Vecna, the ruler of the alternate dimension. It turns out that Jim Hopper, who many expected to have been killed in season three, is alive and imprisoned in a Russian jail. She enters the Mind Lair, an imaginary location existing in Vecna’s mind, and is saved by her friends by playing her favourite song. The lab creates a portal to an alternate dimension – Upside Down, but things go wrong and demons like Demogorgons and Mind Flayer start impacting life at Hawkins.

The show's creators, brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, recaptured the magic of the first season of their hit Netflix horror with season 4, and the final two ...

Thus, many think Hopper, Joyce and Murray will go through the rift and via the Upside Down to get back to Hawkins. The Duffer brothers have teased a dark ending, so those 240 minutes will be tense for super-fans. Fans have had a month to work up “clues”, comments and conspiracies into full-blown theories about what will go down.

Stranger Things season 4 part 2 debuts on Friday. Here's how you can watch the long-awaited fourth installment online and all you need to know about it.

Are you excited for Stranger Things season 4, part 2? That fanbase has since grown exponentially, resulting in it becoming one of the most popular shows of this generation. Arguably the biggest show on Netflix of all time, it premiered back in 2016 to rave reviews and it quickly established a passionate base of fans.

Both episodes are visually stunning, with truly cinematic sequences that will have you wishing Netflix released the almost two-and-a-half-hour finale in cinemas ...

Volume 2 has all the elements that made this show a phenomenon: witty dialogue, heartfelt characters dealing with growing pains, and a whole lot of '80s nostalgia. A TV show doesn't have the same narrative structure as a big-screen film, and there are many loose ends to get to. A lot has been made of the inflated episode lengths this season, though I would argue they have been justified so far, allowing for deeper and more emotional stories without the shackles of the hour-long deadline. We were told before the episodes arrived that we should be "very concerned" for these characters, and that warning is indeed founded. Nancy is being held hostage in the Upside Down, the reporter trapped in a nightmare of traumatic memories, the others trying desperately to free her. As the final two episodes progress, the Duffer brothers elegantly weave these plots together – and soon enough, everyone is heading in the same direction.

Two epic blockbuster-length episodes provide a satisfying pay-off ahead of Stranger Things' fifth and final outing. STRANGER THINGS. Millie Bobby Brown as ...

As with the earlier episodes, there’s a slight whiff of bloat to some parts of these supersized episodes, and a few plotlines feel like they could have been left on the cutting room floor. Come back here in three and a half hours or so and just fill in what you’d imagine we’d say (but much wittier, of course). She gets the biggest punch-the-air moments of the series, as well as the biggest emotional catharsis. As before, Sink’s Max is the MVP this season, and she gets plenty of moments to shine in these finale episodes. In fact, the length of episodes in this new season of Stranger Things have sometimes felt like being drowned in engaging TV – like being smothered to death with delicious cake, crushed with endless hugs. Now, the final two episodes of the split season have debuted, and they definitely continue in this tradition.

The below is a spoiler-free review of Stranger Things Season 4, Part 2, which is now streaming on Netflix. It may have initially seemed like a ...

From the deserts of California to the slime of the Upside Down, everything simply looks incredible, and sleeker than Stranger Things has ever looked – not that it was ever a slouch in the visuals department. Still, in the middle of that tension, it’ll occasionally halt its own momentum for a detour to the Russian storyline (which takes the California subplot’s place as feeling the least necessary in this installment). It might’ve felt a little more manageable if Episode 9 were split up into two episodes, instead of giving us such a packed-to-the-brim behemoth of a finale. It’s hard to talk about too much without getting into spoilers (and even though this review is running on the day the episodes debut, we’re still going to play it safe here in case you don’t have four hours to immediately jump back into the Upside Down), but we can say that it’s nice to finally see the branching-narrative style of storytelling that was established in the first part finally converge in a way that feels incredibly satisfying. While the runtimes may seem overwhelming for some (1.5 hours for Episode 8 and 2.5 hours for Episode 9, for those curious about the math), the result is that not one bit of it feels rushed. It may have initially seemed like a head-scratcher when Netflix revealed that Part 2 of Stranger Things Season 4 would consist of only two episodes, as opposed to Part 1’s seven, but that doesn’t mean the hit’s big finale is a quick watch. This is Stranger Things as its most emotional, thrilling, and yes, ambitious, a word I used a lot in my review of Part 1, but it holds true even more so for the last two episodes.

The second volume of the show's fourth season is arriving on Friday (1 July) at 8am. However, according to intel from the show's creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, ...

I don’t want to make it sound like the episode wasn’t 99 per cent done.” Which means you can watch episode and probably not notice what wasn’t 10 per cent done. In the UK this morning, it seems fans might notice some dodgey effects work.

The season's final two very long episodes contain an immense melancholy in addition to the blockbuster experience.

Plucky Max (Sadie Sink) continues dealing with the trauma that’s been haunting her all season (cue “Running Up That Hill”), while Will gets the long-awaited reveal of his sexual longings— sort of. “Right out of the gate I’m superconfident but I’m also like an idiot. It doesn’t help that the show’s central characters are all spread out across America and Russia, so that we are constantly jumping between the clusters of Vecna-fighters, each engaged in their own existential battle. Would the increasingly charming Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) bite the dust, or perhaps Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), who seemed to fade into the background with every passing episode this season? This overarching darkness, combined with the endlessly frenetic pace of the season, can make the long episodes exhausting to watch. Stranger Things has always worn its love for the movies on its sleeve, with its blizzard of 80s cinematic references.

Episode 8 opens right back where season 4 episode 1 began, with a bloodied Eleven standing over the massacred children while Dr Brenner asks "What have you done ...

A powerful psychic teen known as Eleven escapes and joins forces with a crew of local nerds, Mike, Dustin and Lucas, to fight monsters like the demogorgons, the Mind Flayer, and season 4's big bad, a demon named Vecna. Episode 8 opens right back where season 4 episode 1 began, with a bloodied Eleven standing over the massacred children while Dr Brenner asks "What have you done?!" Stranger Things is back for the final showdown.

Vecna shows Nancy a glimpse aboiut what he's going to do in Hawkins and how he'll entering the city.

The entire group gets really nervous about it and is now working to stop Vecna. He tells her to tell her everything that she saw to Eleven so that she could know that Vecna is coming to wreak havoc. Steve was trying hard to bring her back and the entire group was looking for one musical hit that would save Nancy from the evil monster.

Stranger Things season 4 part 2 has arrived and it features some big deaths! Here's who dies in the final two episodes. Spoilers!

Of course, we have one last season of the Netflix series to go, so we can only predict who will be the next to meet their demise. This has been without a doubt the most eventful and emotional season of the Netflix Original so far. The final episodes of Stranger Things season 4 are here and we now know how this epic installment ends!

And there's really probably only one video you need to watch, the brief recap made by Netflix summing up the first string of episodes, which ran for about nine ...

They’ve discovered that music can help pull people out of the trance, which is how Max, despite being “marked” by Vecna, manages to escape. And there’s really probably only one video you need to watch, the brief recap made by Netflix summing up the first string of episodes, which ran for about nine hours in total. Even though it has only been a month instead of a few years like the gap between seasons 3 and 4, you still may want a refresher on what exactly happened in those first seven episodes.

After a finale with major character twists and deaths, here's a breakdown of what happened and what it means for Max, Vecna, Hawkins, and Season 5.

She thinks that when Will was in the Upside Down, Vecna saw a scared, but smart little boy—one not unlike the one he used to be—and chose his successor to be the King (Czar? President?) of the Upside Down. This would obviously be a hell of a twist if Vecna somehow lured Will to the dark side. The Girl Who Lived: I wrote about this in our Season Five preview, but I'm convinced that Stranger Things won't end without another one of the kids developing powers. But Vecna also quips that he saw a ton of curiosities while journeying this place, a la the Demodogs. Eventually, we're led to believe that he formed the Upside Down as we know it, right down to the Mind Flayer. In short? Suddenly, we finally know the endgame of Stranger Things. Season Five will see our friends do everything they can to track down and kill Vecna, before he's able to recover and lead a full-on takeover of Earth. Well, how did you feel during the reveal that Vecna created the Upside Down? (But he also has godlike powers to create evil, sentient life?!) In a flashback sequence during Episode Nine's final battle, Vecna says that the Upside Down was a sort of formless, directionless wasteland when he showed up. But the mystery of why Russia is so juiced about harnessing the power of the Upside Down isn't quite yet clear. In Eddie, at least, we learn that nerdom means living a life that is true to you and only you—and sticking by that even when staring into the face of literal hell. While the twist firmly locks the show's past, present, and future into thrilling coherence—we're left with a few questions. Kong, have the guts to have Vecna mutilate one of our favorite characters, and force a friend of mine—definitely not me—to restock on tissues the morning after. But there might be something more to surviving a scuffle with Vecna. Scroll down to the very bottom of this breakdown if you want a couple theories about Max. Sure, Volume One bottled up and injected new life into the series (it needed to after Season Three didn't quite meet fans' hopes). Volume Two? It not only managed to thrillingly reframe Stranger Things as we knew it, but the final moments of Episode Nine set up a fifth and final season that will surely generate wild hype until the very second we're able to press play. In Volume Two, he becomes the rocking 'n rolling embodiment of Stranger Things's motivating question: What does it actually mean to be a nerd?

Stranger Things season 4 was a trying experience for Max Mayfield. What was her fate coming out of it and will she be in season 5?

Max may not be dead anymore but that doesn’t mean her fate isn’t up in the air. Fans of Stranger Things have been traumatised by the fourth season of the Netflix series. Eleven managed to save her from Vecna’s curse but the creature had already done some irreversible damage to her, rendering her unable to feel or see anything.
