Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things 5’ teaser is here and it guarantees goosebumps and gob-smacking visuals. This is the final time we meet this fictional and fascinating characters that we first met in 2016. But as they say that all good things come to and end, so has this show.
What was it about?
Stranger Things is set in the fictional rural town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s. The nearby Hawkins National Laboratory ostensibly performs scientific research for the United States Department of Energy but also secretly experiments with the paranormal and supernatural, sometimes with human test subjects.
What to expect in the final season
A year after the fourth season, in the fall of 1987, the group seeks to find and kill Vecna after the Rifts opened in Hawkins. The mission becomes complicated when the military arrives in Hawkins and begins hunting Eleven. Near the anniversary of Will Byers’s disappearance, the group must stay together one last time for the final battle and face something more powerful and deadly than ever before.
