With less than a week to go before the highly-anticipated release of volume two of Stranger Things season four, the Duffer Brothers have now teased a much darker finale and fate for the Hawkins crew. Speaking to Empire Magazine in a recent interview, the show’s creators said that things might not turn out so great for Eleven and her friends this time around, unlike previous seasons.
“I don’t really want to say, but I would be concerned about the characters going into Volume 2, for sure,” Ross Duffer teases. “I hope that that is sort of the sense, because it is a darker season and the kids are no longer kids. And there’s sort of an ominous feeling that things might not go well. Now, whether they do or not, you’ll have to watch.”
He added that part two is all about the characters trying to outsmart Vecna, taking the fight to him. “One of our favorite things in horror films is seeing our protagonists be proactive,” he continued. “You know in The Lost Boys when they decide to go after the vampires? It’s fun to see people come up with a plan and try to outsmart the villain. That’s what Volume 2 is about. But of course, not everything goes to plan…”
Stranger Things season four returns for its second volume on July 1.
