As Vecna, the Mind Flayer and other Upside Down monsters loom over Hawkins, Stranger Things season 5 is likely to be set entirely in the town as Eleven and the gang prepare for a final battle to save their home. Eleven, Will, Jonathan, Argyle, Hopper, Joyce, and Murray were brought back together in the season 4 finale when they returned from Russia. The creators promised that the final season would be a return to "season 1 dynamics," focusing on Eleven and the original Hawkins group.
