The first photos of Stranger Things 4 Volume 2 have been released. On Tuesday, Netflix shared eight images from the final two episodes of the popular sci-fi horror series’ fourth and penultimate season. They feature popular character Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), who is seen alongside her former handler, Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine). Her intense expressions indicate that she is serious. She is also seen in the NINA project uniform. The other photos are equally compelling and suggest that Stranger Things 4 Volume 2 will be intense and action-packed.

The Stranger Things 4 finale features two episodes, titled “Daddy” and “The Piggyback,” with a combined runtime of nearly four hours. That means they’re longer than Ryan Reynolds’ films Free Guy and The Adam Project, which were 115 minutes and 106 minutes respectively.
