New ‘Stranger Things’ Project Is in the Works – Release Date Already Announced

Fans of Stranger Things have a new reason to get excited. Caitlin Schneiderhan is set to release her second Stranger Things novel, titled One Way or Another, on December 2, 2025. The story picks up after the events of season 4 and focuses on Nancy Wheeler as she dives into a new mystery.

According to information about the book, Hawkins is still recovering from Vecna’s earthquake. Residents are struggling to rebuild their lives, and Nancy has spent every moment searching for the elusive villain. But with college at Emerson coming up, she faces a tough decision about leaving town while danger still lurks.

The plot begins when Nancy notices her classmate Joey Taft acting suspiciously at graduation. “Nancy is convinced Vecna’s found his newest victim,” the book synopsis reveals. With the help of her friend and fellow sleuth Robin Buckley, Nancy begins questioning Joey.

Their investigation quickly uncovers a story bigger than anything the Hawkins Post could cover. People in town start getting sick, a mysterious man begins following Nancy, and she wonders if it’s all connected to the Upside Down.

As Nancy and Robin dig deeper, the danger grows, threatening to keep Nancy trapped in Hawkins indefinitely. “Together with Robin, Nancy embarks on a dangerous quest for the truth,” the synopsis continues. “The deeper the two dig, the further Nancy finds herself drawn into a web of intrigue that threatens to trap her in Hawkins… forever.”

Key characters in the book include Nancy Wheeler, Robin Buckley, Joey Taft, and likely references to Vecna. The novel promises to expand the Stranger Things universe, blending mystery, suspense, and the supernatural.

This upcoming release gives fans a chance to explore Hawkins in a new way while following one of the show’s most beloved characters. December 2 marks the day readers can join Nancy and Robin on their latest adventure.
