Volume 1 of the new Stranger Things season was released on November 26, 2025. The first volume was episodes 1-4. The new season shows life in Hawkins with the military controlling who can come in and out of Hawkins and military hunting down Eleven in order to fix what is happening in the Upside Down. The group tries their hardest to find and kill Vecna without being caught by the military. This season shows Eleven strengthening her powers and the group trying to blend in with everyone while they try to find Vecna in the Upside Down.
The cast of the season includes familiar people such as Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven; Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler; Sadie Sink, who plays Max Mayfield; Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas Sinclair; Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin Henderson; and Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers. Some new people in this season are Nell Fisher, who plays the new actress for Holly Wheeler; Jake Connelly, who plays Derek Turnbow; and Linda Hamilton, who plays Dr. Kay.
I personally have really enjoyed watching the show and the new season. I loved how the new season showed how the characters have grown and gotten close to each other. Not only that, but I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season will bring and how the Stranger Things franchise will end.
Volume 2 of Stranger Things will be released on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025 which is episodes 5-7.
