The supernatural drama, set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana in the 1980s, is now headed into its fifth and final season. Its stellar young cast, long one of the show's biggest strengths, are now adults. Leading actor Millie Bobby Brown's breakout role as Eleven has led to her becoming a star in her own right, producing films like "Enola Holmes" and pursuing other projects outside of the "Stranger Things" umbrella.
Netflix announced in February 2022 that the show's fifth season would be its last, bringing a conclusion to the story of Eleven, Hawkins, and the Upside Down. And while there are plenty of "Stranger Things" spinoff projects in the pipeline (and other shows to catch up on in the meantime), it's hard not to be excited about what's sure to be an epic ending.
Here's everything that the Duffer brothers have said about season five of "Stranger Things."
