What to Expect From the Plot of Season 5 of Stranger Things

The final season takes place during the fall of 1987, about a year from the devastating events that ended the previous season. Hawkins is now literally scarred by the rifts to the Upside Down, turning the ordinary town into a battlefield.

As the official logline confirms, the core mission for our heroes is finding and eliminating Vecna, the villain who’s vanished but remains a potent threat. The story promises to bring it all full circle, particularly for Will Byers and his deep, mysterious connection to the Upside Down.

Expect a massive escalation in stakes: Hawkins has been put under military quarantine by the government, which has stepped up its manhunt for Eleven, who is in hiding. Our favorite gang of kids will have to implement what the trailers describe as an “insane plan” as they battle back against a darkness beyond their wildest nightmares. The Duffer Brothers have teased an emotional and satisfying conclusion that finally explains the true nature of the Upside Down and wraps up every major storyline connected to the Demogorgons, the Mind Flayer, and Vecna.

Returning Cast and Characters
