Have you seen her?
After all, in Netflix’s latest chilling clue about the upcoming fifth and final season of Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven appears to be missing—and Hawkins is on the lookout. The official Netflix Instagram account shared a missing person’s poster featuring a picture of Jane “Eleven” Hopper as she stares blankly into the abyss. In addition to her stats, the poster teases, “Last seen wearing a hooded jacket walking in the vicinity of Hawkins High School on June 13, 1986.”
That’s just a few months after the March 1986 setting for of the most recent fourth season. Making the reveal even more cryptic, as Netflix previously confirmed in a November teaser, season five takes place in the fall of 1987, a year after the initial date of Eleven’s listed disappearance.
As the streaming platform hinted in the post’s Jan. 30 caption, “Who’s *really* looking for Jane Hopper? You’re not ready for what’s to come in Stranger Things 5."

Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard “in Shock” After Filming End of Series
Very little details have been shared about the final installment of the series which also stars Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo and Sadie Sink. However, creators Ross Duffer and Matt Duffer—collectively known as the Duffer Brothers—offered a glimpse at the scope that went into filming the final installment.
“We spent a full year filming this season,” Ross said during Netflix’s Next on Netflix event according to The Hollywood Reporter Jan. 30. “By the end, we’d captured over 650 hours of footage. So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet. It’s like eight blockbuster movies. It’s pretty insane.”

But beyond the massive scale, the brothers also reflected on what it was like for them and the cast to finish telling this story.
“At the same time, we think it’s our most personal story. It was super intense and emotional to film—for us and for our actors,” Matt added. “We’ve been making this show together for almost 10 years. There was a lot of crying. There was so much crying. The show means so much to all of us, and everyone put their hearts and souls into it. And we hope — and believe — that passion will translate to the screen.”

Fans got a look at what’s to come for the people of Hawkins (and the Upside Down) in November when Netflix released a teaser featuring the titles of all eight episodes.
One stand out was the name of episode two, titled “The Vanishing of—,” but the character in question’s name is blurred out. Other titles for the upcoming series include “The Crawl,” “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape from Camazotz,” “The Bridge,” and “The Rightside Up."
So far, aside from a 2025 premiere date, no official word has been made about the exact date for the two-part season five premiere.

Farewell Forever?
While Max's fate is still up in the air, Matt and Ross Duffer told the Happy Sad Confused podcast that Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) is dead "for real this time." As they said, "He's toast."
Same goes for Eddie (Joseph Quinn), who sacrificed himself to the Demobats to buy time for the rest of the kids fighting. Joseph told E! News he's still hoping to reappear in the show, saying, "I'd be very up for it. But yeah, let's see."
As for Max (Sadie Sink), the brothers aren't giving up on her just yet. "She's brain dead, but yeah, she's alive," they said. "She's blind and all of her bones are broken."
Netflix
Max's Future
While Max is technically still alive, there's no knowing if she'll ever wake up from her coma. "I have no idea what's coming in five and what that looks like," Sadie said in an interview with Deadline. "Max's storyline is very up in the air, 'cause obviously she's in a coma and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) can't find her in the void. So who knows where she is and what state she's in."
Netflix
The Love Triangle
Even Natalia Dyer is confused about who Nancy belongs with. On one hand, she thinks Nancy and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) are a good match, but she also sees that Steve (Joe Keery) has grown up. And there's a part of her that thinks Nancy shouldn't be with either one of them. "It's really tough," she told Variety. "I don't know. It feels like she's been in a relationship for a while so maybe she needs some self discovery time."
She continued, "Whatever happens, I would hope that she does it with integrity. I personally had some crunchy feelings about how the whole Jonathan thing started sort of behind Steve's back. I can't believe she did that. I mean, I can."
Netflix
Will and Vecna
In the season finale, Will (Noah Schnapp) confirmed he and Vecna are still connected after they were linked to each other in season two. When asked if fans will see the two characters interact in season five, Jamie Campbell Bower told E! News, "We all know by now that Vecna and Will have history. So it would be a joy to to get back in there, as I'll gently put it."
In fact, Jamie remained secretive throughout the entire interview, but promised the Duffers have got it all thought out. "My lips are sealed," he said. "You'll have to wait and see. I think Matt and Ross got something beautiful cooking and they'll let us know in good time."
Netflix
Goodbye, California
While Joyce (Winona Ryder), Will (Noah Schnapp), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) initially sought to start anew in California, it seems the Byers family is missing Hawkins and their hometown friends. So, they're leaving their California home and returning to Indiana, alongside Hopper and Eleven, in season five.
"It's mostly in Hawkins, and there's a lot obviously in the Upside Down," Matt Duffer told Collider about their season five plans. "But this is about everyone finally coming back. Coming back together, coming back to Hawkins.

Production Plans
The Duffer Brothers have mostly planned out season five, the final installment, but there's no knowing when filming will begin.
"This last season took two years in total, so who knows how long season five will take," Sadie Sink told Deadline. "The Duffers definitely know the fans will be eagerly awaiting a fifth season, but I don't think they're gonna rush it. They wanna make the best final season that they could possibly make."
They may not rush the process, but it seems they're cutting down on the amount of scenes in the final season. The Duffer Brothers promised the upcoming episodes will be slightly shorter, though they anticipate the finale is going to be another feature-length episode.
"The only reason we don't expect to be as long is, this season, if you look at it, it's almost a two-hour ramp up before our kids really get drawn into a supernatural mystery," Matt Duffer told the Happy Sad Confused podcast. "You get to know them, you get to see them in their lives, they're struggling with adapting to high school and so forth, Steve's trying to find a date, all of that. None of that is obviously going to be occurring [in season 5]."

"THIS IS A CODE RED," the streaming service announced on social media. "STRANGER THINGS 5 production has officially begun!!!"
Netflix
All Will Be Answered
In an exclusive interview with E! News, Stranger Things executive producer Shawn Levy promised that season five "will answer all remaining questions," adding, "we are in the business of satisfying viewers."
Netflix
The Beginning of the End
On Nov. 6, fondly known as Stranger Things Day, Netflix revealed that the first episode of the final season will be titled, "Chapter One: The Crawl."
Netflix
It Ends With Will
It appears that Will Byers will be the key to how Stranger Things wraps up its run on Netflix. On what fans can expect from the final season, star Noah Schnapp teased to Forbes, "I think they did a great job with Will's character this season, and beautifully addressed everything they needed to. The way they closed the show is just perfect—the story started with Will, and it'll end with Will."
