Stranger Thing Season 5 FINALE

The official synopsis of The Stranger Things Season 5 described the season as 'The fall of 1987.' The opening of the Rifts leaves Hawkins scarred, and our heroes are bound together by a common objective - locate and eliminate Vecna. The protagonists' anxiety rises in the current season as they deal with more dangers and growing government intervention in Hawkins. However, he has disappeared, and it is unknown where he is or what his objectives are. The government has put the area under military quarantine and stepped up its search for Eleven, making their task more difficult and driving her back into hiding.

"As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time," further read the official description.

Stranger Things fans are getting ready to bid farewell to Hawkins and a program that revolutionised streaming entertainment for a whole generation as the countdown gets underway.
