Product Information

In a Variety piece in August 2023, the Duffers told the trade magazine that Will will take “center stage again in [season] 5”, adding:

There isn't a total count of episodes yet, but while appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Matt Duffer revealed that season 5 will be regular-sized, not super-sized like season 4 (which had a total runtime of nearly 13 hours). “The only reason we don’t expect [it] to be as long is, this season, if you look at it, it’s almost a two-hour ramp up before our kids really get drawn into a supernatural mystery," Matt said. "You get to know them, you get to see them in their lives, they’re struggling with adapting to high school and so forth, Steve’s trying to find a date, all of that. None of that is obviously going to be occurring [in Season 5]." Joseph Quinn, who previously played beloved fan favorite Eddie Munson in the fourth season of the series, gave a shoutout and support to the writers from the show after his MTV Award Win for Breakthrough Performance: Away from the life-and-death action, one storyline fans will be keen to see come to a (hopefully satisfying) conclusion is the long-played-out arc surrounding Will Byers' feelings for his best friend Mike.

Underground, Hopper managed to defeat the Russian assassin, but was left inside the room with the exploding key when Joyce closed the gate to the Upside Down. Closing the gate successfully cut off the Mind Flayer’s mind from its body and killed the Mind Flayer monster that had been terrorizing Hawkins. Three Months Later Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler: Nancy Wheeler is Mike's older sister and a recent graduate of Hawkins High. Byer was last seen in Netflix's Velvet Buzzsaw.

Sadly, for the people of Hawkins, those unable to get out of the town before a quarantine starts may have to fend for themselves while the military wage war against the forces of the Upside Down. Will takes a central role in Season 5 I just like shaking it up, so we shake it up by changing the plot or adding in a new monster,” said Matt. “We’re doing our best to resist [adding new characters] for Season 5. We’re trying not to do that so we can focus on the OG characters, I guess.” With such a finite amount of time left with the OG Hawkins gang, it makes sense that the Stranger Things writers want to make sure that fans aren't left feeling shorted by the series finale. This means there might be a new face around town in Stranger Things 5, but don't count on it too much. Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair: Lucas is part of the young gang and a love interest to Max. McLaughlin was previously seen in Steven Soderbergh's High Flying Bird. If you're looking for a little something strange to treat yourself or you want to offer up the most badass gift to your Stranger Things fan friends, stop running to the Upside Down–run straight to Hot Topic for all your Stranger Things apparel, merchandise, accessories, and more!Perhaps Max's near death end in season four could pave the way for an even more upsetting story arc for the character going forward? Meanwhile we wouldn’t suggest you hold out hope for the return of fan-favourite Eddie Munson. No matter how tempting that fan theory looks. On May 6th, the Duffers wrote on the Stranger Writers account that ruled out any filming taking place without the involvement of the writer’s posting: With El unable to use her powers to defend herself or her friends against the Mind Flayer, Griswold Family was in a tight spot — especially after El, Mike and Max were separated from the rest of the group. You know what's super strange? No, it's definitely not being totally obsessed with the always-a-hit Netflix series Stranger Things (because, spoiler alert, we've been obsessed for years, too). Nope, the real super strange thing is that a Stranger Things superfan like you doesn't even own a single piece of Stranger Things apparel, doesn't have any Stranger Things collectibles in their home, and hasn't gifted as single Stranger Things must-have to their fellow Stranger Things fanatics.
