Waiting for Stranger Things season 5? The wait is almost over. After years of monsters, mysteries and emotional goodbyes, the hit Netflix series is finally returning with its last chapter. When Stranger Things first premiered in 2016, it seemed like a simple, spooky story about a missing boy and a group of kids in the small town of Hawkins. But episode by episode, it grew into a massive adventure filled with secret experiments, deadly creatures from the Upside Down, and a powerful girl named Eleven. Fans around the world have watched these kids grow up, face heartbreak, and fight back against evil again and again.
