Stranger Things Season 5: cast, spoiler, Everything We Know About the Final Episodes
The Upside Down particles have only just begun to settle in the wake of Stranger Things’ epic Season 4 finale (read the full recap here), and already, we’re as hungry as an underfed Demogorgon for more, more, more. Luckily, quite a bit of intel has dropped especially quickly about the Netflix hit’s fifth and final season.

For instance, Matt and Ross Duffer — AKA the series’ creators, the Duffer Brothers — have hinted at the last episodes’ length, divulged where the action takes place this time around, and confirmed at least a couple of characters who will not be among us (at least not in the flesh) and revealed why the show’s swan song may give us Season 1 feels.

Season 5 won’t pick up right where Season 4 left off.

Season 5 is going to put the pedal to the metal. “I don’t know that it’s going to be going 100 miles an hour at the start of 5, but it’s going to be moving pretty fast,” Matt told the Happy Sad Confused podcast. When we rejoin the story, “characters are already going to be in action.
