After a three-and-a-half-year wait, Stranger Things is nearly back. The fifth and final season will return viewers to Hawkins, Indiana, where Eleven, Mike, Will, Hopper and the rest will face off against Vecna for the last time. That is, if they can find him.
As you may recall, the previous installment of Netflix’s global hit series revealed the origin story of both the Upside Down and Vecna. Season 4 ended on a cliffhanger with the town splitting open, potentially freeing Demogorgons and other creatures who live in that netherworld right beneath their feet. Now, the new episodes find our heroes searching for the big bad Vecna, who has apparently disappeared. Get ready for hunting season.
Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, Maya Hawke, Sadie Sink, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, David Harbour, Natalia Dyer, Winona Ryder, Charlie Heaton, Jamie Campbell Bower, Brett Gelman and Priah Ferguson star in Stranger Things 5. Linda Hamilton and Nell Fisher are among the newcomers this season.
