Now, a few weeks after the premiere, the Duffer brothers quietly dropped major details about Volume 2, which will bring the last three episodes together on Christmas Day, before the finale release on New Year’s Eve.

Episode Titles Revealed
Stranger Things’ next stretch leans straight into Vecna territory, with Ross Duffer sharing a closer look at the episodes on his personal Instagram. He published the episode titles without any censorship. Chapter Five is called Shock Jock, Chapter Six carries the name Escape from Camazotz, and Chapter Seven closes the set with The Bridge.
Shock Jock begins moments after the end of Sorcerer, Chapter Four. Frank Darabont returns as director, taking a very different route compared to Turnbow Trap. Ross Duffer described this episode as “far darker, and far scarier,” setting a somber tone right away.
