Vecna actor Jamie Campbell Bower ominously teases what the villain's goals will be in Stranger Things season 5. Stranger Things season 4 wrapped up on July 1 with the release of volume 2. The show has already been renewed for season 5, which will also be its last. Little is known about Stranger Things' final season, though the Duffer brothers have indicated a time jump will take place. Meanwhile, the end of Stranger Things season 4 leaves it fairly clear that Vecna will be returning, and that the Hawkins gang will once more be dealing with the Upside Down leaking into their world.
While Stranger Things has dealt with the Upside Down, Demogorgons, and the Mind Flayer in the past, Vecna is a new and more lethal threat introduced in season 4. A string of dead bodies let the Hawkins gang know that they were up against something entirely different. As Stranger Things season 4 reveals, Vecna's past stretches back to the Hawkins Lab, as he was also experimented on by Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine). This made the final battle extremely personal. Though Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) eventually manages to regain her missing powers, Hawkins still ends up suffering a stunning defeat, leaving viewers curious about Vecna's motives and plan in Stranger Things season 5.
