Warning! This article includes SPOILERS for Stranger Things season 4
Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers have offered up some details about the setting and story of season 5. The Stranger Things season 4 finale delivered some major blows, including the loss of Eddie Munson and the very near death of Max Mayfield. However, its biggest reveal came in the form of the season 4 finale's major cliffhanger, which saw Hawkins threatened by an impending apocalypse after Vecna managed to open all four gates to the Upside Down. Now, audiences are desperate to learn the town's fate in the final Stranger Things season 5, which is likely over a year away from release.
Unlike previous chapters, Stranger Things season 4 found the core Hawkins gang split up. While Eleven and the Byers family moved to California after the devastating (seeming) loss of Hopper at the Battle of Starcourt Mall in season 3, the secretly alive Hopper was stuck in a Russian prison. Meanwhile, the remaining members of the original gang stayed in Hawkins to witness Vecna's bloody rampage. Stranger Things' lead characters were only brought back together in the season 4 finale, when Eleven, Will, Jonathan and Argyle returned from her breakout of the Nina Project facility, and Hopper, Joyce and Murray found their way back from Russia. However, now it seems that the final Stranger Things season 5 will be a return to form for the series.
