Just two weeks after the premiere of “Stranger Things” Season 4’s first part, the smash-hit sci-fi series is already gearing up for the season’s epic conclusion. Netflix has released first-look images for the fourth season’s upcoming Volume 2.
Volume 1 of the season, which premiered on May 27, ended on a cliffhanger, with Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer) stuck in the Upside Down and captured by Vecna, the season’s main villain. Vecna has revealed himself to be Henry Creel (Jamie Campbell Bower) — a boy from Hawkins, Ind. in the ’50s who developed psychic powers, murdered his family and later became the first test subject in a confidential government experiment involving children with similar powers.
Elsewhere in the story, Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) has busted into a secret Russian base in Alaska to free the imprisoned Jim Hopper (David Harbour); Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) has regained access to her powers after being taken by Dr. Sam Owens (Paul Reiser) to a secret base in Nevada; while Eleven’s boyfriend Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) and adopted brothers Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) and Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) race to retrieve her.
