After one of the great cliffhangers in the show’s history, fans are eager to gather every detail about Stranger Things 5.
Understandably, season 5, the finale of Netflix’s Stranger Things , is now one of television’s most highly anticipated events. Since Vecna succeeded in tearing open a massive gate to the Upside Down, audiences now expect the heroes of Hawkins to engage in an epic final battle against the evil psychic and his army of monsters.
Principal photography seems like it will last until the end of this year, with the wrap date rumored to be December 22. According to Millie Bobby Brown, as of March 10, 2024, there are nine months of filming left. Hopefully, Netflix will reveal more about the new season at Geeked Week in September 2024, as the event is expected to shine a light on Stranger Things.
So, no instant fan favorites will be introduced this season. The focus will be solely on the originals, which is certainly a welcome move for the final season. Of course, there may or may not be a cameo — through a flashback or something — of Joseph Quinn’s Eddie Munson, who did perish last season in a glorious battle of metal and blood. When asked whether or not Eddie will appear, Quinn said, “I do know , but I’m not telling you.
“I went off and did ,” said Curtin. “I’m not a part of the Stranger Things season 5, but I have interacted with a few of those guys, and what I’m told is that it’s kind of amazing, and they work their butts off, and that it’s brilliant. And I think it will not disappoint.” Connelly, Fisher, and Breaux briefly appear together in a new behind-the-scenes video, which largely features the returning cast members marking their impending departure from the show. It also offers a glimpse at the original Stranger Things kids in high school months after the events of season 4.
As for her future in acting, Hamilton said “I’d come out of retirement to do , yeah. And I think that’s going to give me another 15 minutes with a new audience, which is cool … I’m really happy. I’m really happy with the work I’m getting now. It’s not just Resident Alien and Stranger Things. I’m getting some good movie roles that allow me to not be the military person. I really just love the challenge. I just love acting.
Stranger Things season 5 plot With the major questions out of the way, let’s discuss some of the other details we know or that the showrunners have confirmed. Season 5 will take place entirely in Hawkins Season 4 of Stranger Things proved to be the show’s biggest yet in terms of scope. It followed the heroes living separately from each other and traveling through Hawkins, California, Russia, and even the Upside Down. In contrast, the final season will primarily follow the cast in Hawkins and the Upside Down, with the protagonists and the military reportedly trying to prevent both worlds from merging.
It appears that the show will revisit many more familiar locations in Hawkins. Ross Duffer shared set photos on Instagram, revealing a shot of Castle Byers, the childhood fort that Will tore down in season 3. There have even been whispers that filming will occur at the Hawkins Community Pool set from the third season.
Also, some of the cast and crew were previously spotted filming scenes at a radio station set, a new location in the world of Hawkins. The context of these scenes is unknown, but radio devices have been crucial in previous seasons, from the kids’ signature walkie-talkies to Eleven using radio to focus her telepathic powers.
Will has long shared a psychic connection with Vecna and the Upside Down’s hive mind, giving him the ability to sense their presence and activity. This power could be crucial to his role in the show’s final episodes, and it could even become the key to stopping Vecna once and for all. Since the show began with Will’s disappearance, it’s only fair that it ends with him getting the spotlight.
The finale is going to be emotional While talking to The Hollywood Reporter, the Duffer Brothers and executive producer Shawn Levy made it clear that the season’s storyline is going to be an emotional rollercoaster of a ride. “We did get our executives to cry, which I felt was a good sign that these executives were crying.”
In the world of Dungeons and Dragons, the Thessalhydra is a large, reptilian creature with eight heads akin to a hydra, all connected to an enormous mouth. This creature is presumably the one that was roaring and causing earthquakes in the Upside Down in season 4. The season 1 finale did show the boys fighting against the beast in their DnD campaign, so just like with the Demogorgon, this seemingly small scene could have foreshadowed their greatest battle yet.
This kidnapping might coincide with an alleged hospital set photo revealing that Holly’s mom, Karen, will be admitted after a vicious mauling by a Demogorgon. This would make Mike and Nancy’s war against Vecna even more personal and give an often-overlooked character in the series a greater role in the story. It may even force the kids to open up to their parents about the secret lives they have hidden for so long.
Who will helm each episode of Stranger Things season 5? The Duffer Brothers will direct the first episode of the season, and possibly the second and fourth. Likewise, Shawn Levy is rumored to be the director of the season’s sixth episode. Along with the upcoming blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, Levy previously directed two episodes in each of the show’s seasons, including the fan-favorite Dear Billy.
Lastly, poor Max briefly died after Vecna broke her bones, allowing him to create the giant gate to the Upside Down. Though Eleven restarted her heart, Max was left in a comatose state, leaving her ultimate fate unclear. “I have no idea what’s coming in and what that looks like,” Sink said to Deadline. “Max’s storyline is very up in the air ’cause, obviously, she’s in a coma, and Eleven can’t find her in the void.
According to Netflix Life, audiences will finally get some concrete answers about this strange world in the next season. The Duffer Brothers even revealed in an interview that they had a 25-page document outlining the mythology of the series, particularly the Upside Down, since they started making season 1. “The only thing we don’t delve into in volume 2 is Upside Down lore,” said Ross Duffer. “We hint at it.
Is Stranger Things season 5 going to be the final season? The Duffer Brothers have confirmed that season 5 will indeed conclude the Stranger Things story and plotline. That means that when it’s all done, Eleven, her friends and companions, the Upside Down, and most characters involved in the story will be sunset — hopefully, with a satisfying wrap-up.
“We haven’t told anyone the idea yet, much less written it,” they added later on. “We think everyone – including Netflix – will be surprised when they hear the concept, because it’s very, very different.” Variety was the first to report that principal photography of Stranger Things season 5 would begin in January. Via social media, Heaton, Keery, Hawke, and Dyer were reportedly on set in Atlanta on January 5. Those performers are notably the teenage heroes of the show, Jonathan, Steve, Robin, and Nancy, all of whom have had experience in the Upside Down by this point.

Since Sink’s star has risen since that season thanks to her acclaimed supporting turn in The Whale, it seems Max will have a larger role to play in season 5 than originally thought.
One of the actors happy to return to Hawkins is Wolfhard, who spent the majority of season 4 away from Dustin, Lucas, and Will. When he watched season 4, Wolfhard was “jealous” of the scenes in Hawkins, so he’s happy that the core group of characters will be together in season 5. Saying goodbye is hard Gaten Matarazzo Talks Stranger Things' Final Season and Joining the Cast of Sweeney Todd With season 5 set to be the show’s last, several stars have voiced their angst regarding its inevitable end. One of them is Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin on the show. The actor recently stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote his new Broadway musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
“And after finally, recently having read everything that’s going to be on the page, it really was like this overwhelming beam of light that surrounded the whole crew and cast. And I remember we finished reading it, and it was just like a pure reminder of family. That’s like what the show is to all of us, and to be at wrap-up is intense, to say the least.
