Nearly ten years have passed since “Stranger Things” first gripped audiences, and now the series is approaching its conclusion. Premiering on Netflix in 2016, this sci-fi thriller set in the 1980s centers around Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), a young girl with extraordinary powers. Alongside her friends Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), she embarks on a quest to rescue Will (Noah Schnapp) from the eerie dimension known as the Upside Down. Curious to see how the young cast has evolved since their debut? Our video above showcases their transformations.
Despite long intervals between seasons, “Stranger Things” has retained a dedicated fanbase eager to discover who will survive the final showdown. The series has escalated in intensity, with the malevolent Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) gaining strength over time. However, Eleven’s powers have also grown, enabling her to resurrect the fallen. Yet, the question remains: can she truly vanquish this formidable foe? Refresh your memory with a recap of Season 4, particularly concerning all things Vecna.
After a prolonged hiatus exceeding three years, the anticipation for “Stranger Things” Season 5 has reached a crescendo. As the series’ concluding chapter, it promises to depict Eleven and her companions’ ultimate battle against Vecna, while resolving lingering storylines such as Max’s (Sadie Sink) fate following her brush with death. Although the Season 4 finale suggests Vecna’s demise, Will remains attuned to his presence, sensing his influence as the Upside Down gradually encroaches upon Hawkins. To decisively defeat Vecna and save Hawkins, Eleven may need to sever his connection to the Upside Down.
The final season of “Stranger Things” is poised to address numerous fan theories, especially if the Upside Down meets its end. After three years of speculation, viewers are eager for closure, even if it means bidding farewell to beloved characters. Nevertheless, there is hope that the finale won’t be marred by excessive character losses. Don’t miss our video chronicling the cast’s journey and witness the remarkable growth they’ve experienced over the years.
Stranger Things Season 5 is the final stand

With an over three year gap since Seasons 4, “Stranger Things” Season 5 has been long-awaited. As the final season, it should show how Eleven and her friends defeat Vecna for good, while tying up other subplots, like if Max (Sadie Sink) will wake up after her near-death experience. Though the finale of Season 4 makes it look like Vecna is dead, Will knows better. He feels Vecna lurking beneath the surface, and it becomes clear when Hawkins is steadily taken over by the Upside Down. In order to kill Vecna permanently and save Hawkins, Eleven likely needs to sever his control of the Upside Down.
There’s no shortage of “Stranger Things” theories the last season could put to rest, especially if the Upside Down is destroyed. With three years to theorize, fans are ready to see how the show ends, even if their favorites don’t make it out, though there is hope the season won’t be filled with character deaths. Be sure to watch our video of the cast’s transformation over the years and see how far they’ve come.
