And now, let us begin...
The Duffer Brothers have offered up some details about the setting and story of Stranger Things
5. Stranger Things season 4 delivered some major blows, including the loss of Eddie
Munson and the very near death of Max Mayfield. However, its biggest reveal came in the form
of the season's cliffhanger, which saw Hawkins threatened by an impending apocalypse after
Vecna managed to open all four gates to the Upside Down. Viewers are now desperate to
learn the town's fate in the Stranger Things season 5, which will most likely come out
in 2024. In an interview with Collider, the Duffers teased story details and the major
locations of season 5. The co-creators revealed that the two major settings for season 5 will
be those set up in season 1: the town of Hawkins and the Upside Down. The Duffers also teased
some major reveals about the Upside Down itself, which has grown more mysterious over the course
of the series.
"It's mostly in Hawkins, and there's a lot obviously in the Upside Down. We did a couple
of big reveals in Volume 2, but it's all related to Vecna, Henry, and his journey. But what
we haven't really discussed is exactly what the Upside Down is. The big reveals that are
coming in Season 5 are really about the Upside Down itself, which we only start to hint at.
There is that moment where we realize in episode seven this year that it's frozen in time."
Based on their comments, it's clear that Stranger Things 5 seeks to recreate the show's original
structure, scaling back the focus after a significantly wider-reaching season 4. The
creators have also recently promised that the final season would be a return to season
1 dynamics, focussing on Eleven and the original Hawkins group of Mike, Will, Dustin and Lucas.
This update suggests that Max could be incapacitated for a large part of season 5 after her near
death at the hands of Vecna, which put her in a coma. The creators' comments also promise
that season 5 will finally be offering some insight into the workings of the darker,
alternate Hawkins. While season 4 clarified how time works in the Upside Down, there is
still the mystery of how and when it was created, and whether it can ever be closed to real-world
Hawkins for good. It is interesting to hear that the final installment intends to come
full circle, bringing the Hawkins gang back together to fight against their very first
enemy in the Upside Down itself. However, the stakes are significantly higher this time,
with the alternate world having evolved from the kidnapper of one boy in Will Byers to
now threatening humanity. As Vecna, the Mind Flayer and other Upside Down monsters loom
over Hawkins, Stranger Things season 5 is likely to be set entirely in the town as Eleven
and the gang prepare for a final battle to save their home. Here’s hoping that all
of our questions get answered in Stranger Things season 5. Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. What theories do you have for Stranger Things 5?
