"I hope by the time people get to the end that it feels like there’s something inevitable about what happens," Matt Duffer tells The Hollywood Reporter in a conversation with brother Ross Duffer about the second part of the final season and how it sets up their endgame.
Warning: This article contains spoilers from Stranger Things season 5, Volume 2. Buckle up, because now that Volume 2 of Stranger Things season 5 is out in the world, we're barreling towards the series finale on New Year's Eve.
Stranger Things is nearing its end, with two more volumes scheduled to release as part of Season 5 on Christmas and New Year's Eve.
So, season five picks up after an 18‑month time jump from the end of four and is set in fall 1987. The core five characters were born in 1971, bar Dustin in 1972, making the core five characters 16 years old. When you know the timeline, the character ages in Stranger Things 5 does line up, but it’s not immediately obvious.
SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from Stranger Things 5 Vol. 2. The penultimate episode of Stranger Things 5 offers fans a moment that they’ve been hoping for all season: a reunion between Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Max (Sadie Sink).
Here’s how Matt Duffer explained the major turning point in the history of Stranger Things:
Stranger Things Season 5 Volume II is finally streaming on Netflix, and the closing minutes of "Chapter Seven: The Bridge" set up an exciting series finale.
The Arlington Heights native, who likes video games and the Chicago Bears, said he pretty much "winged it" for his big debut as Derek, a bully-turned-hero.
Now, with just days to go before the New Year’s Eve end of Stranger Things, it’s time to look at Kali’s return, her deal with Eleven, and why I’m with Hopper on not trusting her despite what could be the best emotional arc of the series finale.
If you’ve ever felt personally victimised by the Stranger Things writers’ emotional rollercoasters — good news! You can partly blame the cast for some of the chaos. The Duffer Brothers recently told PEDESTRIAN.TV that several fan-favourite characters exist in their current, perfect forms because the actors themselves were just too good to waste.
