The Duffer Brothers' creation plunges viewers back into the fall of 1987, where Hawkins is reeling from the opening of the Rifts. Our heroes are united by a singular, urgent goal: find and eliminate Vecna. However, Vecna has vanished, leaving his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the town is under military quarantine, and Eleven is forced back into hiding as the government intensifies its hunt for her. With the anniversary of Will’s disappearance looming, a familiar dread settles in. The final battle is imminent, promising a darkness more powerful and deadly than anything they've ever faced. To end this nightmare, the full party must stand together, one last time.
The extensive cast includes fan favorites such as Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), and Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield), along with Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna), and new addition Linda Hamilton (Dr. Kay).
"Stranger Things 5" is produced by Upside Down Pictures & 21 Laps Entertainment, with The Duffer Brothers, Shawn Levy, and Dan Cohen serving as executive producers. Since its 2016 debut, "Stranger Things" has become one of Netflix's most popular series, amassing over 140.7 million views globally for its fourth season alone and earning over 70 awards worldwide. Its cultural impact has been immense, reviving '80s nostalgia and even propelling Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" back onto the charts.
Prepare for the beginning of the end this November, as the final adventure in Hawkins promises to change everything forever.
