What Will Happen In Stranger Things Season 5?

Season 4 ended with Eleven and her Hawkins gang watching with trepidation as the barrier to the Upside Down was finally broken. It’s likely, then, that season 5 will deposit us straight back into a world filled with chaos and overrun with aliens as this terrifying alternate dimension threatens to replace reality as we know it. The season will chart the final battle between our trusty heroes and their main rival, Vecna. 

While we don’t have much other information yet, we know that Stranger Things creators, the Duffer Brothers, have plenty more planned for their fictional universe – not forgetting that the theatre show Stranger Things: The First Shadow has already debuted at the Phoenix Theatre in London.
