Netflix introduced a bunch of cool kids in Hawkins, Indiana, who are fighting gory creatures and unearthing government conspiracies. ‘Stranger Things’ opened a portal for both Gen Y and Gen Z. For the former, it was a nostalgic ride through the times of VHS and the scary demons that ceased to exist post-90s. After five successful seasons, Eleven & Co. will bid us goodbye.
After the Vecna fear lingered back in Hawkins town, many personal stories unfolded and old wounds opened. In Season 5, the Duffer Brothers are planning to keep the series limited to Hawkins and the portal Upside Down. The gang will unite to solve the mystery of killing the demonic creature that had its origins in Hawkins lab. The creators also teased that they would address some mysteries of the Upside Down world. Now that the series is coming to an end, Joe Keery, who plays Steve Harrington, feels bittersweet about the show’s ending.
