Never Ending Stranger Things

Ever since Stranger Things was first released in 2016, it has taken the world by storm. Now with a 5th season estimated to come out in the summer of 2023, many people are making predictions of what this upcoming season will be about. While some predictions make sense, many are just bizarre. Some believe that Season 5 will dig more into the upside down’s past and how it came to be, and with the new addition to the character or characters? “001” (or Vecna) and his shocking origin that may be true. Many Eddie fans were shocked and devastated by his sudden death in the Season 4 finale and they are anticipating a return in the next chapter. 

With over 113 million hours of Stranger Things watched, it obviously has many fans that are waiting for more. Stranger Things cast and crew have not started filming and till the end of this year are finishing the draft for the script ,which may be disappointing to some. So, no trailers or teasers are yet to be released. 

What will come in the said “final” season remains a mystery and most are just too restless to wait. For many, Eddie is a fan favorite and people believe that in the new season, he’ll be alive and thriving. 

According to Noya Perez, “I don't think Eddie is dead, and Vecna’s definitely coming back.” 

When the most recent season left off, Max was attacked by Vecna, leaving a cliffhanger breaking hearts across the globe. Some predictions say that she is not in a coma, but instead trapped with Vecna in the upside down (oof). 

A devastating thought by many is that Will may be sacrificed next season. He has been connected to the Upside Down since the very beginning, and in the season finale he knows that Vecna is still alive. 

An anonymous 7th grader said that “It's unlikely Will will sacrifice himself because he has had so much build up of his character.”

 But still what will happen to him remains unknown.

In an interview with Maya Hawk (Robin Buckley) she said that "I would love to die and get my hero's moment. I'd love to die with honor, as any actor would." 

Season 5 is the last ever season of Stranger Things so it is most likely that a main character will die. As Robin was more a main character in season 3, it makes sense that she would love to get back into the spotlight. It is not confirmed that this beloved character will die next season but Maya Hawk seems ok with the possibility. 

But, sadly we all have to wait until 2023 (so we think) for any confirmation or teasers. Though it may seem like forever, you can pass the time by reading more predictions and rewatching this never ending story.
