I Really Need Stranger Things Season 5 To Reveal What’s Happened To One Missing Character

Robin, Steve, Nancy and Jonathan looking down at something in the Hawkins radio station in Stranger Things.

Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS for Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 1 are ahead!

The first four episodes of Stranger Things Season 5 premiered on the 2025 TV schedule last week, and there was a lot for fans with a Netflix subscription to take in. Among the highlights were Will Byers’ unique powers fully awakening and the return of Kali Prasad, better known as Eight. While these moments and many others made the first half of Season 5 enjoyable to watch, I really need the show to clear up what’s happened to one missing character before all is said and done: Paul Reiser’s Dr. Sam Owens.
