The storyline picks up where season 4 left off, following the group of friends—Will, Mike, Eleven, Lucas, Dustin, and Max—as they navigate the aftermath of their battle against Vecna, who has successfully breached into the real world due to an enormous rupture in Hawkins. The new promotional materials wield a darker tone, with the ominous image of a blood-red sky over burning Hawkins, showcasing the escalating threat posed by Vecna.
Moreover, there are hints at a new formidable opponent, indicated by the episode titled 'Escape From Camazotz,' which alludes to a demon from Dungeons & Dragons featuring a human body and bat-like head. The show has also been assigned a stricter rating—MA (Mature Audience)—not suitable for viewers under 18, displacing its earlier classification which allowed viewers aged 14 and older. Further build-up to the final season includes a trailer that was released on July 16, 2023, promising more thrilling developments leading into the season’s gripping finale.
