Stranger Things Season Five is looming upon us as Hawkins will see the wrath of Vecna again. With the first four episodes all set to drop on 26 November, we have plenty on our plate to anticipate what the season premiere will reveal of the finale.
With the main cast returning and the Duffer Brothers cooking up a fifth season that will close the chapter once and for all, Stranger Things Season Five will be a mixture of an emotional goodbye to the show and the deadliest adventure our main characters have had in all the previous seasons. If you're readying yourself up for the season finale, then you're at the right place. Here's everything you need to know about Stranger Things Season Five, before you tune in to the last ride.
What is Stranger Things Season Five all about?
The fifth season of the show will follow the main group, who are seeking Vecna after the Rifts open in Hawkins. On the other hand, Eleven is being chased by the military and as Will Byers' disappearance circles one year, everyone gets theor amp up to fight the terror lurking in Hawkins.
The official synopsis of the season reads,
“Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.”

The second follows on Christmas with three more chapters that continue the final story. The last episode drops on New Year’s Eve, closing out the saga just before midnight. Every batch premieres at 5 p.m. PST, so viewers across the world can line up their time zones and plan their watch parties accordingly.
How is Season Five going to be different from the previous seasons?
Stranger Things Season Five is not just the final season, it will also be the most terrifying season in more ways than one, as our main characters battle an opponent that has only gotten deadlier over the years. Another aspect is that there's less space for normalcy in this season. You won't get to have a glimpse at the characters' normal lives that are unaffected by danger in Hawkins. The plot delves straight into it as Vecna's wrath is overpowering their lives, and consuming every bit of normalcy.
Talking about this, director and co-creator Ross Duffer has told Tudum.
“I think what's unique about this season is that it starts a little bit in chaos because our heroes ultimately lost at the end of Season 4. We usually set up their normal life and how they’re going about school, and then we introduce the supernatural element. But in this case, this season is sprinting from the start.”
How did Stranger Things Season Four end?
Stranger Things Season 4 drops you right back into 1986, where everything in Hawkins is spiraling again while the teens juggle school, friendship drama, and a terrifying new enemy. Eleven is in California without her powers, dealing with relentless bullying, while Mike, Will, Jonathan, and Argyle end up on a chaotic road trip in a Surfer Boy Pizza van after the military ambushes the Byers’ house. Joyce receives a disturbing package from Russia that hints Hopper has survived, which pulls her and Murray into a rescue mission that lands them inside a Soviet prison filled with Demogorgons and Mind Flayer particles.
Back home, a monstrous figure the kids name Vecna begins murdering teens by exploiting their deepest fears. Chrissy, Fred, and Patrick are the first to die, and Max becomes the next target, barely escaping after her friends blast her favorite song. Nancy and Robin uncover Vecna’s ties to Henry Creel, while Eleven regains her powers through traumatic memories and learns she accidentally created the creature.
The season ends with Max in a coma, Eddie dead, Hopper reunited with his family, and Hawkins shattered after Vecna opens the fourth gate. The Upside Down finally leaks into town, signaling that the real war is about to begin.
