The Duffer Brothers are raising the bar each season with Netflix’s beloved sci-fi drama ‘Stranger Things’. Along with evoking 1980s nostalgia with Dungeons & Dragons, they have turned the popular game into a global phenomenon that has launched the careers of Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp.
‘Stranger Things’ is ramping up for the production of the fifth and final season. After battling the Demogorgon and Mind Flayer, the Hawkins gang is up for a new challenge with Vecna, who has killed Chrissy and almost hurt Maxine in the fourth season. By the end of the third season, we witnessed the decline in Eleven, aka Jane’s superpowers. However, she gained some powers back in Volume II. So, will her lost sister from season two come to her rescue in the showdown?
Kali May Return To The Final Season Of ‘Stranger Things’ After Writers Urge Fans To Revisit Season Two
Season Two of ‘Stranger Things’, despite having one of the most pivotal endings, went unnoticed, and the Kali storyline became a divisive one among the fans. In the seventh episode, after a confrontation with Hopper, Eleven finds a box labeled ‘Hawkins’ that contains details about Terry Ives, who turns out to be her mother.
Jim and Joyce have already had an encounter with her in the first season. Eleven shows up at her doorstep. She tries to connect with Ives while she mumbles certain words that remain forever etched in her mind after the electro-convulsive therapy. Eleven finds out that she was with another Indian kid in the room at Hawkins Lab. Upon searching, she finds out about Kali and immediately goes to Chicago.
In Chicago, after reuniting with Kali, Eleven and she connect at an emotional level after going through a shared trauma. Kali decides to run a crime cartel to punish all the people who were involved in the Hawkins ordeal. The Duffer Brothers tried to invoke the 1980s punk resistance that took place in London and gave birth to a new musical genre.
However, Eleven cannot relate to Kali’s angst, and she decides to leave to help her friends in Hawkins as the Mind Flayer takes over Will. The Kali narrative remains untold.
I do think season 2 is consistently underrated. Highly recommend a rewatch before season 5…

The Duffer Brothers Have Debunked An Important Fan Theory
After the end of the fourth season of ‘Stranger Things’, fans came up with many theories about what the final season would look like. One of the theories that emerged was that all the episodes leading to the final season were an orchestrated campaign that the Hawkins kids built to play Dungeons & Dragons.
During an interview on the red carpet of the new ‘Stranger Things’ play, the interviewer asked the Duffer Brothers whether all the events leading to the fifth season were just a dream. Matt Duffer gave a straightforward “No” as an answer.
Ross Duffer added, “That would be the equivalent of, ‘That’s all a dream.’ No, I assure you that is not how we’re going to end the show. We’ve known where we’ve been going for a while. And we feel comfortable with it; hopefully, it satisfies everyone. We’ll see.”
