While Maya Hawke grew up in Hollywood, thanks to her father, Ethan Hawke and mother Uma Thurman's thriving acting careers, she carved out her own place and became the breakout star of Stranger Things in Season 3. Hawke made her small-screen debut with the 2017 BBC adaptation of Little Women, where she played the character of Jo March.

A moment between two characters in Stranger Things season 5 volume 2 once again underscores the silliness of a status quo decision.

**Spoilers for Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 6 “Escape from Camazotz,” now streaming on Netflix**

Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 finally arrived on Christmas Day, picking up the story at full speed and pushing every character closer to the end. Here’s what goes down in Volume 2, and how it tees up the series finale.

Netflix made the bold choice to split the fifth and final season of Stranger Things into three parts, and the second installment dropped on Christmas Day. The streamer surely wanted these new episodes to feel like the gift that fans have been waiting for,

Sitting down and looking at his best friend Mike (played by Finn Wolfhard), mom Joyce (Winona Ryder), brother Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and more, Will is his most vulnerable self. After making it clear that he is gay, his friends and family proudly support him and tell him they will always be by his side.

Spoiler alert! When Will Byers comes out to his friends and family in the seventh episode of 'Stranger Things' Season 5, it doesn't feel profound.

Since its debut in 2016, Stranger Things has captivated audiences with its unique blend of nostalgia, horror, and friendship. However, the lengthy gaps between seasons have become a hallmark of the series.
