The End Is Nigh in the "Stranger Things" Season 4, Vol. 2 Trailer
The second part of "Stranger Things" season four is coming to Netflix soon. On June 21, the streamer released the terrifying full-length trailer for volume two, and it seems like the gang in Hawkins might be in over their heads. "Your friends are not prepared for this fight. Hawkins will fall," Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) warns Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). "My friends need me," Eleven tells him.
The trailer includes shots of Eleven running away from the lab; Max (Sadie Sink), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), and Erica (Priah Ferguson) entering the Creel House; and Robin (Maya Hakwe) warning Steve (Joe Keery) that they might not make it out of this alive. The whole trailer is scored by Kate Bush's "Running Up that Hill," which became a viral hit after it was featured in volume one.
In a recent interview on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers on the show, had similarly dire warnings for fans heading into the season finale. "You can expect from volume two, we've got some deaths coming, some gore, and a big . . . ," he said before Fallon stopped him by saying, "Wow, that's a big spoiler. Dude, you just said something that you can't say!"
Schnapp didn't reveal anything else about who will die in the season finale, but he did confirm that we're going to be mourning at least one character by the end of the season finale. "No, but I didn't say who! Well, you guys can assume that obvi someone's gonna . . . ," he continued, drawing a finger across his throat.
"Stranger Things" season four made a huge splash when volume one dropped on Netflix on May 27. The ending of the first half of the season leaves our beloved characters in rough spots: Nancy (Natalia Dyer) is trapped under Vecna's curse inside the Upside Down. Eddie (Joseph Quinn) is wanted for murder, with the rest of the Hawkins gang considered his accomplices. Hopper (David Harbour) and Joyce (Winona Ryder) are still trapped in Russia. Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), and Will (Schnapp) are trying to make their way across the country to help El.
Fans have long been wondering if their favorites will make it out of the season alive, and in light of Schnapp's comments, it seems clear that someone will end up exiting the show before everything is said and done. As we wait for volume two of "Stranger Things" season four to drop, keep reading to preview what's ahead, including the trailers and first-look pictures.
