As a die-hard Stranger Things fan who has spent countless hours binge-watching and theorizing about this beloved series, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming season 5. It’s been a long wait since we last saw our favorite Hawkins crew battling the Mind Flayer in that epic finale, but as Tom Petty once sang, “the waiting is the hardest part.”
The fourth season of “Stranger Things” was quite a spectacle, earning rave reviews and setting new records. Interestingly, it also brought back Kate Bush’s 1985 song “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” to the charts once more. Following such an explosive season, viewers have been eagerly anticipating the final journey of The Party in Hawkins. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a bit longer as “Stranger Things” won’t be returning on Netflix until 2025
Just as Tom Petty sung, “the toughest challenge is waiting,” this pause has given fans ample opportunity to imagine how they’d like the series finale of ‘Stranger Things’ to play out. To ensure viewer contentment, the conclusion might need to address two key elements
Characters Need to Have Their Storylines Wrapped Up
In Season 5, the main plot will revolve around the confrontation between The Party and Vecna. However, there are other character arcs that require resolution too. For instance, at the end of Season 4, we saw Max (Sadie Sink) in a coma with Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) unable to reach her. Fans are eagerly waiting to find out what happens to Max in the end. Also, there’s curiosity about how Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn), a beloved character, impacted The Party and whether they’ll need to grapple with that impact much like Max had to deal with Billy’s (Dacre Montgomery) death
In a sweeter scenario, it’s delightful to imagine Joyce (Winona Ryder) and Hopper (David Harbour) sharing their long-awaited date. Viewers are equally eager to follow Steve’s (Joe Keery) romantic journey. As for Season 4’s cliffhangers, Robin (Maya Hawke) and Vickie (Amybeth McNulty) storylines remain intriguing, with speculation that Vickie might confirm her bisexuality within the series. Since Stranger Things boasts diverse LGBTQ+ characters, this wouldn’t be unexpected. The audience was pleased to see Will’s (Noah Schnapp) feelings for Mike (Finn Wolfhard) acknowledged, and thankfully, he didn’t end the season alone; his heart-to-heart with brother Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) at Surfer Boy Pizza was a welcomed moment. Here’s hoping Will can openly express his identity to The Party in the next season
In a more somber perspective, some viewers are theorizing that one prominent character might meet a valiant end. Possible candidates for this fate could be Eleven or Hopper, due to their heroic roles in the series. On the other hand, others think Will may perish, considering his initial disappearance into the Upside Down at the start of the story. Even Steve, who initially was portrayed as a jerk but has become one of the show’s standout characters, is being speculated to make the ultimate sacrifice, as it would conclude his transformation from self-centered to selfless. Whatever happens in Season 5, we can expect it to surpass the emotional intensity of Season 4
Introduce New Elements for Spinoffs
According to Deadline, while it seems that Stranger Things might be wrapping up, The Duffer Brothers are not finished exploring the Stranger Things universe. After the impressive success of Season 4, Matt and Ross Duffer created Upside Down Pictures. Although not all projects under this banner will be related to Stranger Things (one is an adaptation of the manga Death Note), at least two upcoming projects are. The first is a stage play titled Stranger Things: The First Shadow, focusing on Henry Creel, portrayed by Raphael Luce in the series and Louis McCartner on stage, in 1959. The second is a live-action spin-off. Furthermore, it has been reported that an animated project is also being developed
The final season of this show may lay groundwork for its upcoming spin-offs, perhaps by hinting at new paths of adventure or referencing other supernatural occurrences in different towns. It might involve a time jump similar to Stephen King’s “It”, and since “Stranger Things” has additional characters, we could delve deeper into Kali Prasad (Linnea Berthelsen) who was introduced as Eleven’s ‘sister’ or another experimented-on child by Dr. Brenner. Although the episode she debuted in, Season 2, Episode 7, “The Lost Sister”, wasn’t the strongest, it did suggest that there are more kids like Eleven with their own untold stories. Focusing on one of these characters could expand the universe of “Stranger Things” while allowing for connections to the original series through mentions or appearances of existing “Stranger Things” characters in the spin-off
Though fans must endure a lengthy wait between seasons, it’s clear that The Duffer Brothers have an extraordinary finale planned for Stranger Things, a fitting conclusion to this beloved series. A behind-the-scenes video released recently hinted that the final season is already halfway through production. Throughout their interviews, the cast continues to stoke excitement by promising that this will be the best season yet. Despite the high anticipation, one thing remains certain – the fans will show up in massive numbers when the final season finally arrives
