With season 4 concluding at a pivotal moment, Wolfhard mentioned that season 5 will revisit the dynamics reminiscent of the show's debut season while also delivering a grand scale storyline.
The previous season featured multiple plotlines, including a narrative where a group of characters embarks on a mission to unravel a series of murders leading them to Vecna's lair in the Upside Down.

However, with season 5 well underway, Wolfhard highlighted the unity among the cast members, emphasizing that they are now filming together consistently. The actor described the journey towards the final season as intense yet fulfilling, balancing the present moment with the realization that this chapter is drawing to a close.
While the official plotline for season 5 remains undisclosed, it is expected to follow the Hawkins kids as they confront Vecna amidst the invasion of the Upside Down in their town. The Duffer Brothers, the show's creators, have hinted at an emotionally charged conclusion for the series, with Netflix executives reportedly moved to tears upon hearing the plans for the final season.
As the production of the last season progresses, Wolfhard and the rest of the cast are navigating the bittersweet experience of bidding farewell to the beloved show. Despite the challenges, the actor expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the Stranger Things journey.
For fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter, Stranger Things seasons 1-4 are currently available for streaming on Netflix, offering a chance to relive the adventures in Hawkins before the epic conclusion unfolds in season 5.
