Episode 5 picks up moments after the end of Sorcerer. Frank Darabont directed this one, although Duffer said Shock Jock is \u201cfar darker, and far scarier\u201d than Darabont&#8217;s previous episode, Turnbow Trap.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Episode 6 was directed by Shawn Levy. \u201cIt\u2019s the biggest episode of the three,\u201d Duffer said, \u201cand the performances make us cry every time we watch it.\u201d It sounds like we might get a character death in this one, and based on the name, the episode will revolve around Holly and Max\u2019s attempt to break free from the mind prison created by Vecna.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And finally, Episode 7 is called The Bridge, which the Duffer brothers co-directed with Levy. \u201cDon\u2019t want to say too much, but aside from the finale, it\u2019s probably the most emotional chapter of the season,\u201d Ross Duffer teased. More character deaths, perhaps?<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As for the final episode, it will be screened in theaters nationwide at the same time it is shown on Netflix. Ross Duffer has told fans they should only see it in theaters if they\u2019re cool with crying in a crowded room.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;The finale. Theaters. New Year\u2019s Eve,&#8221; Duffer wrote in a social media post alongside a photo of the drawing Lucas and Max used to ask each other on a date in Season 4. &#8220;This is something my brother and I have dreamed about for years. If you don\u2019t mind crying in front of strangers, GO. And if you\u2019re in LA\u2026 maybe we\u2019ll see you there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\">\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Who Will Die In Stranger Things Season 5?<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"After nearly a decade and four blockbuster seasons, as well as a Broadway play, the Netflix hit series Stranger Things is closing the book on the Upside Down with Season 5.

Will (Noah Schnapp) and his mother, Joyce (Winona Ryder), have a heart to heart in which she reassures him the battle against Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) isn\u2019t over. Meanwhile, Holly (Nell Fisher) and Max (Sadie Sink) are trying to escape Vecna\u2019s 1950s fantasy world, and they\u2019re walking through strange doors to do it. Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), warns: \u201cthis whole time, everything we\u2019ve ever assumed about the Upside Down has been dead wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Dustin and Steve (Joe Keery) are then seen looking at some sort of red, potentially interdimensional mass that is whirling around above them. Whatever this is, it seems key to understanding the true nature of the Upside Down, which Stranger Things co-creators Ross and Matt Duffer have promised to finally explain this season.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Elsewhere, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) calls on Kali\/Eight (Linnea Berthelsen), who she rescued from captivity in Vol. 1, to help her find and kill Vecna. We see shots of Vecna \/ Henry Creel in various states as the central characters become increasingly distressed. Briefly, we see Will use his new powers again, as evidenced by his eyes turning all white as they did at the end of Vol. 1.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Stranger Things Season 5 release dates:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>VOL 1 &#8211; November 26, 5pm PT<\/li>\n<li>VOL 2 &#8211; Christmas, 5pm PT<\/li>\n<li>THE FINALE &#8211; New Year\u2019s Eve, 5pm PT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019ve got plenty more on Stranger Things, including <u>Ross Duffer\u2019s call to arms for fans to turn off \u201cgarbage\u201d TV settings before watching Season 5<\/u>.
