Stranger Things Season 5 Drops New Teaser For Vol. 2
Amid the countdown for vol. 2, the makers released a new teaser, heightening fans’ anticipation. The teaser opens with Derek (Jake Connelly) and other Hawkins kids appearing in Vecna’s prison world after they were kidnapped by the demogorgons.
As they open their eyes and try to make sense of where they are, Mr Whatsit appears before them and takes them to his home, calling it the sanctuary. There, the kids meet Holly Wheeler.
Mr Whatsit then advises them to stay away from the woods, as that’s where the monsters live. Speaking of woods, we see a glimpse of Max keeping an eye on the house and the kids with her binoculars from the forest.
“You might be wondering when your family and friends will be joining you here. The difficult truth is that there is more at stake than just the lives of your loved ones,” Mr Whatsit tells them, adding, “I don’t wish to frighten you, but I believe you are brave enough to know the truth.”
With this monologue the makers hint at unveiling the final truth. Stranger Things Season 5 vol. 2 will premiere on Netflix on December 26 at 6:30 AM IST.
