Stranger Things‘ official Spotify playlist now features official Rockin’ Robin radio shows and fans who listen closely might hear a few clues as to what will unfold in Volume 2 of the show’s final season.
When we reconvened with the cast in Volume 1, which dropped last month, Robin (Maya Hawke) was shown presenting her own radio show on the fictional WSQK The Squawk station. In the first episode, it’s revealed that she discreetly imparts messages to the rest of the characters through the station.
Fans of the show can now get clues to the events of Volume 2 through listening to Robin’s broadcasts. They have dropped at 8am ET today and yesterday (December 17 and 16) and another one will land tomorrow (December 18). Not every detail is a clue, and numbers are believed to be particularly important information.
Fans who get hold of all four clues across the three broadcasts can piece them together and enter the secret numerical code into the Spotify search bar to unlock content from Volume 2. It will be available exclusively through the app from December 18–20.
Episodes five, six and seven will land on Netflix at 5pm PT on Christmas Day (1am on Boxing Day in the UK) while the series finale arrives at the same time on New Year’s Eve (1am on New Years Day in the UK).
Meanwhile, a fan theory online has predicted the possible ending of Stranger Things, recalling a reference made in a post by the show’s writers.
One fan posted on X (formerly Twitter) a screengrab of a tweet from the Stranger Things writers’ room account sharing the quote “let’s start a new party, you and me”, and the image of the dungeon master’s handbook from the game Dungeons & Dragons.
The tweet, dated 2019, refers to something Will (Noah Schnapp) says to Mike (Finn Wolfhard) way back in season three. Feeling disconnected as the friendship group grows apart, Will says to Mike “let’s start a new party, you and me”, using their love of Dungeons & Dragons as a metaphor to rebuild their friendship.
The poster asserts that the tweet foreshadows the show’s finale, given creators The Duffer Brothers have often said they know how the show will end. “The Duffers knowing how the last 20 minutes of the final episode goes for years now, and this was tweeted in 2019,” they wrote. “And it’s just a cleric and paladin on the cover…. we are really going to see Mike say this to Will in the epilogue. That was always the plan.”
The theory then provokes questions of what might have happened to the other members of the cast for the show to reach that hypothetical point.
