This season promises deep dives into the Upside Down’s mythology. The Duffers had written a 25-page document for Netflix during Season 1, outlining the world’s hidden lore. While glimpses of that have surfaced over the years, the final season is expected to reveal even more.
Synopsis
Set in the fall of 1987, the story finds Hawkins marked by the Rifts’ destruction. With Vecna missing and his plans unknown, the group comes together with one goal: to find him and end the threat. But the government has now quarantined the town and intensified its pursuit of Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, a familiar dread spreads — signalling a final battle that will require every member of the party to stand united one last time.
