The end is nearly here. Netflix’s blockbuster phenomenon Stranger Things is heading into its long-awaited final season, promising the most intense and emotional chapter yet. Hawkins stands on the brink as the Upside Down tightens its grip, old threats resurface, and the beloved crew must face their greatest fight together. In this Goggler exclusive we sat down with Mike and Lucas to talk about the vibe on set, their approach to this final season and what they hope for audiences at the end of it all.
Stranger Things 5 Volume 1 is out now on Netflix.
The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
