Stranger Things" season 4, episodes 1 to 7, otherwise known as Volume 1, has been getting a whole lot of praise. Aside from the slightly bloated Russia storyline, it's been action-packed.

Today Netflix has released the trailer for Volume 2, which is episodes 8 and 9, the end of the penultimate season. We got a secret teaser if you watched all the way past the end of the credits for episode 7, but now we have a better idea of the showdown that's going to take place. 

It’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier. 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.

For Dustin, maybe it's dressing up as his Dungeons & Dragons character. Either way, we're in for quite a bit. Don't let the two episode only thing fool you into thinking this will be a quick wrap up. These are long run times, so we're getting almost four hours of additional content.

Is Vecna the final big bad for the season? Is he connected to the Mind Flayer, and if so, how? Will Nancy get out of the Upside Down? Will Steve and his glorious hair perish, leaving people virtually rioting on Twitter? Will Eleven fully get her powers back? I mean, she has to, right? Will Dr. Brenner be redeemed or will he be consumed and destroyed by Vecna and/or the Mind Flayer? Will we find out what the rolled up art Will was holding had on it, and will we finally get to see who he has a crush on? I mean, it's Mike, right? It has to be Mike. Will Robin get the girl, because her crush's pause in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" was indicative of something?

A Look Back at Seasons 1 – 3:

Stranger Things is set in 1983 Indiana, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. As friends, family, and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces, and one very strange little girl.

Season 2: It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the Demogorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down, but a bigger, more sinister entity still threatens those who survived.

Season 3: It’s 1985 in Hawkins, Indiana, and summer’s heating up. School’s out, there’s a brand new mall in town, and romance is blossoming. But new dangers loom. Evil doesn’t end, it evolves — and one summer can change everything.

"Stranger Things" season 4, volume 2 will be released on Netflix on July 1, 2022.
