Mystery is about to stir up Hawkins once again as the Upside Down grows stranger than ever. Stranger Things is inching closer to its end, with Volume 2 expected to drop soon. With the show nearing its last season, fans have been busy spinning countless theories and speculations.

Earlier, the Duffer brothers Matt and Ross Duffer sparked a debate when they hinted at the possible death of fan-favorite Steve Harrington, played by Joe Keery. They did so by pushing a figurine of Steve from a table during their appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, only to put it back moments later.

While the speculation continues to run wild, the Duffer Brothers have also teased a major hint for the ending of season 5.

In an interview with APEntertainment, the Duffer Brothers shared that the ending of season 5 could be emotional.

“It’s going to be a dark Christmas… and an emotional New Year’s Eve," they said.

As of now, fans have continued to see if they can find a link in the trailer of the show. The clip hints that Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 will pick up right where things left off. 

It shows Will admitting that they never stood a chance, while Dustin revealed that the Upside Down will get stranger than before. From eerie explorations to shocking revelations, things hint at getting more dangerous for Eleven and the crew. The trailer ends with Vecna ominously declaring his wish to start a new world.
