The Duffer Brothers have offered up details about StrangerThings Season 5's story and key locations...👀 'It's mostly in Hawkins, and there's a lot obviously in the Upside Down ... The big reveals [in] Season 5 are really about the Upside Down itself.'
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.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY 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 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.
"It's mostly in Hawkins, and there's a lot obviously in the Upside Down ... We do a couple more big reveals in Volume 2, but it's all related to Vecna, Henry, and his journey. But what we haven't really discussed is exactly what the Upside Down is ... The big reveals that are coming in Season 5 are really about the Upside Down itself, which we only start to hint at. There is that moment where we realize in episode seven this year that it's frozen in time.
Based on the Duffers' comments, it's clear that Stranger Things season 5 seeks to recreate the show's original structure, scaling back the focus after a significantly wider-reaching season 4. The creators have also recently promised that the final season would be a return to "season 1 dynamics," focussing on Eleven and the original Hawkins group of Mike, Will, Dustin and Lucas.
It is interesting to hear that Stranger Things' final installment intends to come full circle, bringing the Hawkins gang back together to fight against their very first enemy in the Upside Down itself. However, the stakes are significantly higher this time, with the alternate world having evolved from the kidnapper of one boy in Will Byers to now threatening humanity.
