What to expect in Stranger Things 5 Volume 2

The wait for Stranger Things 5 Volume 2 won't be too long. But fans can ruminate over the teasers the Duffer brothers have revealed about the upcoming three episodes. They referred to Volume 1 as the "explosive setup" during an interview with Deadline in November and they said that it will continue to happen in Volume 2 and the eventual finale. 

Matt Duffer further teased what fans can expect Volume 2 episodes to explore. He told Deadline: 

"Especially as we get into Volume 2, we start to answer more and more why Will was kidnapped and how it ties in with Holly and all of this. Everything sort of comes full circle."

The next three episodes of Stranger Things 5 will also reportedly explore the Upside Down more and explain what it really is. Ross Duffer said that the reveal has been planned for ten years and Volume 2 will be the time to reveal it. 

Matt Duffer also hinted that music will play a bigger role in Volume 2. While it won't try to recreate the musicality of season 4, he said that there will be "some really cool, but very different musical moments" in the upcoming Volume 2 episodes. 

Is there a Stranger Things 5 Volume 2 trailer

Netflix released a teaser trailer for the upcoming Stranger Things 5 Volume 2 earlier in December. The 2-minute trailer delivers endless thrills as the show's heroes race against time to unravel Hawkins's deepest and darkest secrets. 

It opens with Derek with several Hawkins kids entering Henry Creel's house as Max watches from a distance using binoculars. It also teases that everything everyone knew about the Upside Down is wrong before proceeding to show the Upside Down like it's never been seen before. 

Steve and Dustin also reunite in the brief clip and Eleven asks her long-lost sister to help find and defeat Vecna. Nancy also gets her Rambo-like moment in the teaser as she takes out the Feds with a sniper rifle on top of Murray's truck.
