What to expect from Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2
As we saw in Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 1 ended with a major turning point: Will Byers gains the ability to mentally fight against and control Demogorgons through his psychic connection to Vecna, a full-circle moment from his Season 1 abduction.
Meanwhile, the gang leads a rescue mission for other children targeted by Vecna, leading to a huge confrontation in the final episodes as Max is trapped and the Upside Down descends deeper into Hawkins.
Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 is expected to feature the Hawkins Squad on a mission to uncover the city's darkest secrets, after Vecna successfully kidnaps 12 children needed for world takeover.
As per the trailer of Volume 2, Dustin admits that all the information about the Upside Down has been “dead wrong." Meanwhile, Will tells Joyce, "We failed. We never stood a chance.” But Joyce says, “It’s not over. Not by a long shot," hinting at a serious situation. Another famous duo, Steve and Dustin, can be seen ready to fight to the death. “You die, I die,” Dustin says.
