What happened in season 4?
Stranger Things Season 4 premiered back in summer 2022 in two parts, released separately in May and July. The episodes were supersized, all over 60 minutes, and the final episode of Part 2 was more than two hours long.
It ended with an all-out battle against the evil Vecna and the Demogorgons in the Upside Down, where the beloved newcomer Eddie Munson sacrificed himself to save the gang. Vecna is weakened in the aftermath, but remains powerful enough to spread the Upside Down into Hawkins. Everyone in the main cast survives, but Max is left in a coma after Vecna controlled her body.
What to expect from Season 5?
Set in the fall of 1987, Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and the heroes share one goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has disappeared, and his plans remain unknown. The government has placed Hawkins under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, a familiar dread returns. The final battle looms — bringing a darkness more powerful than anything they have faced before. To end the nightmare, they will need the entire party united one last time.
Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things is backed by Upside Down Pictures in collaboration with 21 Laps Entertainment. The Duffer Brothers also serve as executive producers alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen.
