Though its return date is unknown, exciting news is coming for Stranger Things season 5 as it officially kicks off writing in a behind-the-scenes image. Created by Matt and Ross Duffer, better known as the Duffer Brothers, the Netflix series revolves around a small fictional town in Indiana during the '80s as they face a number of supernatural threats from the dangerous alternate dimension known as the Upside Down. Stranger Things primarily explores the Upside Down's connection to Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven, a a young girl with telekinetic abilities whose powers seem to tie her to the horrifying other realm.
Stranger Things season 4 saw most of its main characters having been split across the country and learning of the dangerous new threat of Vecna, an entity living in the Upside Down who is killing seemingly random teenagers across Hawkins. While Winona Ryder's Joyce and Brett Gelman's Murray learn of David Harbour's Hopper being alive and imprisoned in Russia, Eleven and her friends must face Vecna before he pulls off his ominous plan. Stranger Things season 4 scored largely favorable reviews from critics and audiences alike and has dominated Netflix's viewership, setting up a thrilling fifth and final season that viewers may not have to wait too long to see.
