Unfortunately that earthquake was just the beginning of the bad news to come. This breaking of the dam has immediate destructive repercussions as the force of the break creates a 7.6 magnitude earthquake throughout Hawkins that kills at least 22 people. By successfully killing Max (more on that in a moment), Vecna was able to open a fourth gate and in the process break the “dam” connecting the two realities. The neat thing about the season 4 finale is that he kind of succeeds in that mission. What’s Happening to Hawkins?Īs previously stated, Vecna’s ultimate goal is to unleash the hellish chaos of The Upside Down upon our unsuspecting world. He knows that, despite the seemingly fatal burn wounds, that Vecna will recuperate to fight another day. Will, thanks to his earlier connection with the Mind Flayer (who was operating as part of Vecna), can still feel Vecna’s presence. The series big bad has been Vecna this whole time and according to Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), he still has yet to be defeated. While Dustin was right in assuming that the humanoid Vecna was more powerful than any Demo-creatures, it seems as though he still underrated the dark wizard. Midway through season 4, Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) theorized that the Demogorgon was the Mind Flayer’s foot soldier while Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) was his five-star general. We wouldn’t be shocked if season 5 got a late 2023 or early 2024 release date. The fact that Netflix confidently announced a season 5 renewal alongside the season 4 release date news suggests that the Duffers and the rest of the show’s production team will probably be ready to get rolling relatively soon. Another aspect of season 4’s delay that can’t be ignored is that the Duffer Brothers clearly wanted to take their time to properly plot out the end of the series. Makeup effects department head Barrie Gower told Den of Geek that they began building Vecna in January of 2020 before having to shut down production for three months. After season 3 premiered on July 4, 2019, it took nearly three full years before season 4 made its way to Netflix.Ī lot of that delay can be attributed to the pandemic. While we don’t know when Stranger Things season 5 will premiere, there are some encouraging indicators that the wait won’t be as long as the one between season 3 and season 4. Let’s figure that out together here as we go over what we know about Stranger Things season 5 and present some theories as to how this epic story might end. Hell, the series new big bad Vecna even literally says that Eleven and her friends have arrived at the “beginning…the beginning of the end.” What will that ending have in store for Stranger Things‘ characters and for Stranger Things‘ fans? True to the Duffers’ word, fans were able to see how season 4 would be the beginning of the end for Stranger Things. Season 4 will be the penultimate season season 5 will be the last.” It proved too larger to tell in four, but - as you’ll soon see for yourselves - we are now hurtling toward our finale. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. “Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. The show’s creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, wrote a letter to fans to accompany the announcement. Back in February 2022 when Netflix announced the release dates of season 4’s two volumes, the streamer also announced that the show was receiving a fifth and final season. The bad news is that it will be the show’s last. The good news is that we will absolutely see a fifth season of Stranger Things. Where exactly is Max? How can Vecna be defeated? And when can we expect Will to share his secret with Mike? One question that’s already been definitively answered, however, is: will we get a Stranger Things season 5? Stranger Things season 4 concluded with many questions lingering. This article contains spoilers for the Stranger Things season 4 finale.
