Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am thrilled to see the first cast photo for Stranger Things Season 5. It's been a long wait, but I'm confident that the Duffer Brothers will deliver another epic season. I can't wait to see what new adventures and challenges await Eleven and the gang as they face the Upside Down once again. I'm also excited to see how the characters have grown and evolved since the last season.
However, I can't help but feel a little bit sad that this will be the final season of Stranger Things. It's been such a big part of my life, and it's hard to imagine saying goodbye to these characters. But I know that the Duffer Brothers will give the show the ending it deserves, and I'm excited to see how it all concludes.
