All the kids have grown up and are ready for the final chapter of Hawkins, Indiana. Vecna is still alive, and the kids will not rest until they slay him for good. In addition, Season 5 will tie all the loose ends of Season 4, which was divided into two parts. The first part was seven episodes long, while the second one had two long-running episodes. However, things are certainly not looking good for the gang as they witnessed an earthquake-like event wreaking havoc in Hawkins during the final moments of the last season, courtesy of the Upside Down. Additionally, we witnessed Joyce and Hopper reuniting with the kids. One of the show’s executive producers, Shawn Levy, has teased that Season 5 will be an emotional ride for the fans.
Episode 1 of Stranger Things Season 5 is titled “Chapter One: The Crawl”, written and helmed by The Duffer Brothers. Stream all previous seasons on Netflix. Stay tuned for more updates.
