Stranger Things fans cannot wait for the grand finale of the series as Netflix’s science fiction horror drama is arriving with its fifth and final season. With a glamorous cast including Winona Ryder, Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Maya Hawke, Joseph Quinn, and many more, the TV series quickly became a pop culture phenomenon.

The show takes place in a small American town circa the 1980s and follows a group of teens and adults in their community and the strange mysteries that begin to mount. Every season has upped the game and expanded the viewers’ love for the characters even further as they delve deeper into the haunting alternate domain of the Upside Down.

Season 4 ended with a very intense cliffhanger where the Upside Down breached into Hawkins town, and this left people wanting more. Stranger Things Season 5 will showcase the epic showdown since Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), and her friends are ready to go up against the darkness from the Upside Down.

The series’ creators, the Duffer Brothers, have already put together the plan for the final season and mentioned to TVLine that Season 5 would start after a time leap, perhaps, because all the young actors have grown up rapidly, which is a very practical approach.

As per Deadline, Season 5 will also look into Vecna's origin story, as the brothers said, "It's something we will get into in Season 5. What happened to that program once Henry became involved and how [Dr.] Brenner evolved it into including multiple kids. We're going to go back and see some of that in Season 5."

The official X account of Stranger Things gifted fans with an exciting teaser: the title of the first episode, The Crawl. As per TVLine, many fans familiar with Dungeons & Dragons have speculated that this title may refer to a "dungeon crawl" — a scenario where players navigate a vast maze full of monsters and traps. 

The fourth season of the show was widely praised and its viewing hours reached a record of 1 billion which speaks about the expectations people have with this finale. Stranger Things Season 5 arrives on Netflix in 2025.
