The end of Stranger Things is approaching, and Hawkins, Indiana, is preparing for the last confrontation with forces that have terrorised the town for nearly a decade. The fifth season, set to premiere with Volume 1 on 26 November at 5 p.m. PST, picks up in fall 1987, following the catastrophic events that left the town scarred after Season 4. Fans will finally see how Eleven and her friends confront Vecna, the supernatural threat that has haunted Hawkins since the first season in 2016.
Stranger Things 5 opens months after the strange phenomenon over Hawkins, leaving the town under quarantine by the United States military. According to series co-creator Ross Duffer, this season begins in a state of chaos rather than introducing the characters' normal school lives first. The first episodes show the gang immediately dealing with the consequences of their last confrontation, sprinting into conflict as the supernatural threat escalates.
