Season 4 of ‘Stranger Things’ wrapped up in 2022; Season 5 begins with a time jump to the fall of 1987 after Hawkins sees the effects of the opening of the Rifts. Will, Mike, Lucas and the rest of the gang are on a mission to find and kill Vecna, whose whereabouts and plans are unknown.
Netflix’s show’s synopsis reads: “complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.”
The series stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Jamie Campbell Bower, Maya Hawke and Joe Keery.
