Following the events of Stranger Things season 4’s finale, it appears that Hawkins will essentially become a battleground. Previous batches of behind-the-scenes set photos have also revealed tentacles in other areas of Hawkins, suggesting that Eleven and her allies will have a hard time containing the spread of the Upside Down.

Since Vecna ​​remains alive in the series, it’s likely that another showdown between the two is on the horizon. In addition to battling the monsters of the Upside Down, it’s also possible that Eleven will have a role to play in Max’s (Sadie Sink) future after the character was left in a coma at the end of Season 4. 5 will also have to bring closure to Eleven and Mike’s (Finn Wolfhard) relationship, either by ending with the two of them together or by them deciding that they’re better off as friends.

With production still underway, it’s likely that more photos from the set of Stranger Things season 5 will be released in the coming weeks.
