What’s Stranger Things 5 About?
The story picks up in the fall of 1987, after the opening of the Rifts. Hawkins is reeling, Vecna has vanished, and the government has placed the town under military lockdown while hunting Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance looms, so does a final confrontation. The full party must reunite for one last stand.
Expect answers to long-standing questions about the Upside Down. According to the Duffer Brothers, key mythology will finally be revealed, much of it tied to a 25-page document they wrote for Netflix during Season 1’s development.

Returning cast members include:
Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cara Buono, Amybeth McNulty, Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, Alex Breaux, and Linda Hamilton.
