The leak, tied to a platform for sharing production assets, includes set photos, character guides, logos, and artwork. Highlights suggest Robin and Steve run a radio station, Vecna uses the alias “Mr. Whatsit,” and Murray goes undercover as “Austin” at Bradley’s. A major character’s fate is hinted at, though authenticity remains unverified.
Promotional images tease a showdown with a “Tree Flayer,” possibly linked to the Mind Flayer. Behind-the-scenes shots feature Mike, Will, Lucas, and Dustin—with Dustin’s long hair honouring Eddie Munson. Eleven and Hopper may face a big fight, fueling fan speculation.
Netflix is scrambling with DMCA takedowns to curb the leaks, but the buzz grows. Co-creator Matt Duffer confirmed a 2025 release, possibly in November, with talks of a two-part rollout. Fans are split—some relish the spoilers, others dread the ruined surprises.
