According to a tweet from the show's writers, there could be a close connection between Stranger Things season 5 and season 2. Since its debut on Netflix in 2015, Stranger Things has become one of the streaming platform's most beloved shows. Created by Matt and Ross Duffer, the fantasy-horror series is now entering its final season, season 5. Although details about season 5 are limited, a tweet from the Stranger Writers Twitter account suggests that the upcoming episodes may have a link to season 2. Here's the tweet:
How Stranger Things Season 5 Could Connect To Season 2
After winning a poll that compared the four season finales, the season 3 finale received praise from fans. However, one fan expressed disappointment by commenting "Season 2 robbed". In response, one of the writers acknowledged the underrated nature of season 2 and suggested rewatching it before season 5.Netflix's Stranger Things has undeniably been a tremendous success. However, season 2 generated mixed reactions among viewers, with certain storylines and characters receiving less appreciation and ultimately being neglected in subsequent seasons. With the highly anticipated final season on the horizon, Stranger Things has a unique chance to revive and delve deeper into these neglected elements.
Noah Schnapp's character, Will, is expected to play a significant role in Stranger Things season 5. In the season 4 finale, his reaction of his hair standing up at the back of his neck, a sign of the Mind Flayer's presence, hints at a deeper connection. Since the Mind Flayer appears to have survived the events of season 3, Will's connection to the creature and the Upside Down could be a pivotal part of the storyline.
Additionally, season 2 introduces Kali, a survivor from Hawkins Lab, who has not been seen or mentioned since her divisive appearance. To address this unresolved plot point, it is likely that Stranger Things season 5 will bring back Kali or at least acknowledge her whereabouts.
