At a gathering in November 2022, Ross and Matt Duffer discussed season 5 of Stranger Things, with Ross saying it’s “It’s sort of a culmination of all the seasons, incorporating elements from each. I believe that what we’re attempting to do is return somewhat to the beginning, in a tone similar to that of 1.” The final batch of episodes and the revelation of The Party’s fate are eagerly anticipated by viewers. Can Eleven and her friends save Hawkins and finally put an end to Vecna and the Upside Down?
Since there is no release date for Stranger Things season 5, fans on Reddit are speculating about where the plot will go next while they wait. Many of these thoughts are gloomy and suggest that these cherished characters have a rocky journey ahead of them.

A Dragon Will Be The Season 5 Evil Villain
Will the final season of Stranger Things feature a new villain? There are many people who ask that question. Because “the most powerful adversary in the game is a big red dragon by the name of Borys,” Careless Second7391 on Reddit believes there might be a dragon. The supporter mentioned that season 4 “For Mike, Will created a picture. A crimson dragon with three heads is shown in the work of art “.
Given that there is a lot of setup and foreshadowing in seasons 1 through 4 of the series, this fan idea is sinister but plausible. Though ideally Will and his friends will find a means to fight this dragon if it comes to that, it does appear like Will’s paintings will reappear in the final season.
Eight And Eleven Will Team Up Against Vecna/001
Vecna is unquestionably the most terrifying villain on Stranger Things. Vecna, who was originally Henry Creel/001, and Eleven’s past interactions imply that the final season will feature a titanic clash.
A grim notion was put up on Reddit, according to which “Eleven will have to commit herself to destroy One” and “Maybe Eight will come back and she will also sacrifice herself to save the planet.” While it’s simple to picture Eleven doing everything in her power to support her friends, it’s heartbreaking to consider what would happen if we lose this witty, endearing, and significant figure. It’s also depressing to consider how Eight/Kali Prasad’s life ended.
Erasing The Upside Down Will Kill Eleven
Since the stakes are so high in season 5, it makes reasonable that many fan theories center on Eleven’s possibly dying after several years of The Party discovering the truth about Hawkins.
“I feel like Eleven and the Upside Down are intricately interwoven such that if one is destroyed, the other will be too,” Redditor Pitbullandpandemonium commented. Eleven would want to get rid of the Upside Down in Hawkins, so this would be a difficult situation, but it would be disastrous if it meant that Eleven’s life was on the line.
Hopper Or Joyce Will Die
It has been tough to put off viewing Stranger Things because of the romance between Jim Hopper and Joyce Byers, which has lasted the entirety of the series. Their emotional connection has never wavered, and it is unforgettable to watch them reunite in season 4.
CybridCat on Reddit believes that these characters might die in season 5, and it’s horrifying to think about the consequences. The reader wrote: “I could also picture Hopper losing his life for her defense. Because Joyce would do anything for her child, this is a possibility.”
Max Is Brain Dead
One Redditor proposed the idea that Max will be “totally brain dead” when season 5 begins. Even though it’s horrifying to think about, the fan continued by saying that they believe Venca will “exploit her vegetative body as a vessel/puppet in Hawkins.”
Max is one of the best characters in Stranger Things, thus it would be difficult to watch this plot line. It’s possible that things will become worse before they get better, despite the optimism that Max will be okay and be able to battle Vecna alongside her companions.
Max Will Lose Her Sight
Another gruesome, dark fan theory holds that Max Mayfield lives but is no longer able to see. Max will survive but be blind, according to Redditor CybridCat, who also suggested that “maybe she can help them distinguish what’s a vision and what’s real.”
Though there is still a chance that Max could recover, it seems clear that this experience will leave a permanent mark on her. Since Vecna enters Max’s mind in season four, such link might creepy and hazardous in season five.
Mike Will Sacrifice Himself
Mike Wheeler has consistently made an effort to act morally. Because he is aware of his shortcomings and frequently admits them to Eleven, he is a relatable character. “Mike will be the one to die as he’s kind of the heart of the grp and he prolly will make a sacrifice in this season,” predicts Redditor zrm ssm345.
It would be tragic if Mike did attempt to assist his buddies and perished in the process. As viewers reminisce about all the fun moments Mike spent with Eleven and their group of friends, this would give even another emotional element to the show.
The Entire World, Not Just Hawkins, Is In Trouble’
The people of Hawkins have battled to comprehend why evil exists in their small village for four seasons. The unusual events, however, have only occurred here. Reddit user SweetMnemes believes “The stakes for Season 5 must now be higher with Hawkins gone. Therefore, I believe that everyone on earth will be in danger.”
Even if Hawkins has some ambiguous aspects, it makes for an intriguing TV scenario. The idea that Hawkins’ dangers could spread to the rest of the world is terrifying. There would be complete anarchy and devastation.
Will Is Going To Die In Season 5
Will Byers’ narrative arc has been quite emotional. Given what he has been through and his close ties to the evil in Hawkins, some fans believe that Will will be the major character to pass away in season 5 of the show.
The season 1 plotline in which the friends play Dungeons and Dragons was mentioned by Reddit user araybian in their post “I think it’s going to be Will.” He “risked himself instead of running away… and Will the Wise died,” according to Will’s plot. The fan interprets this as a reference to Will’s passing.
Vecna’s Army Will Be Huge
Vecna’s Army Will Be Massive Since Vecna plays such a significant role in season 4, fans of Stranger Things have opinions about him. It’s interesting to consider how this guy might change by season 5 and how much worse he might get.
Using “evil versions of the victims he has previously kidnapped, I.e. barb, bob, billy, Chrissy, Eddie,” Redditor Strange-Things-11 imagines Vecna to have a “army.” It is terrifying to think about this. These characters might try to sway and influence their friends if this actually happened.
