The trailers also give us a glimpse of every character, including Eleven, and allow us to see how they went from being innocent kids to a crew of brave fighters. Hawkins is terrified after the arrival of Upside Down monsters, and we can see the soldiers getting ready to confront this otherworldly threat. At the same time, Will sees what’s coming their way, and he is shouting and telling everyone to run away. The trailer obviously gives us chills, and we can’t wait to witness all of it when the final season arrives later this year.

What Will be the Cast of Stranger Things Season 5?
The Hawkins gang will be back, and so will their new and most dangerous enemy, Vecna. Jake Connelly, Nell Fisher, Alex Breaux, and Linda Hamilton will also appear in the final season of the American sci-fi series.
However, we have yet to discover their roles, as the creators have not spilled the beans on that. During Netflix’s Tudum, Hamilton confirmed her involvement in the fifth season through a video without letting us know anything about her character. All she said was, “I don’t know how to be a fangirl and an actress at the same time. I’m gonna work on that.” Basically, she is a fan of this series, so getting to play a character in it is definitely a dream come true for the 67-year-old American actress.
What Could be the Plot of Stranger Things Season 5?
Stranger Things has been a roller coaster ride from the beginning. However, Season 4 of the sci-fi franchise gave us the goosebumps that somehow the previous season couldn’t. That’s because we were introduced to the deadly beast, Vecna, who was responsible for the upside-down. So, we can expect to see the Hawkins gang, along with Eleven, locking horns with the villain for the final time. Vecna was incredibly powerful in Season 4, but he will come back even stronger in Season 5.
The official synopsis of Season 5 confirms that Vecna will return, and every character will gather to find and kill him. However, things will get difficult as the Government will launch a hunt for Eleven, which will force her into hiding.
On top of everything, all character arcs will come to an end in Season 5. Sharing his feelings on the conclusion, Finn Wolfhard said in an interview with THR that he is extremely happy with Mike Wheeler’s growth until the very end.
“I was so happy with my character’s ending,” said Finn in the interview, while also confirming that he had mixed feelings about the show coming to an end. It’s safe to say that the other cast members also went through a similar stream of emotions.
Will Stranger Things Season 5 be the Final Season?
Yes, it has been confirmed that Stranger Things Season 5 will be the final season of the franchise.
In February 2022, a letter by the Duffer brothers confirmed the renewal of the fifth season, along with some other major news. In the letter, the brothers also stated that they never intended to take the series beyond Season 4, but the extensive content forced them to go for a fifth season to end the story of Hawkins and Eleven. Well, it was indeed a great decision, as we got to stay with our favorite characters a little longer.
