The End of an Era: Stranger Things Season 5 and the Final Episodes
Stranger Things season 5 marks the end of an era for Netflix. The final episodes promise to bring the characters back together in Hawkins, but can the writers live up to the hype?
The Unprecedented Hurdles
Stranger Things season 5 marks the end of an era for Netflix. Since 2016, the Stephen King-inspired supernatural series has been a main selling point for Netflix.

The highly anticipated series finale was delayed due to the dual Hollywood strike, leading to jokes about the final season being computer-generated.
With the writers and actors back in production, the creators claim that this season will be like season one on steroids, the biggest it's ever been in terms of scale.
Reuniting the Characters
For most of Stranger Things season 4, all the characters were separated, and this has historically not been a selling point for the series.
Season 4 had some interesting concepts, such as Creel House and El regaining her powers, but fans are eager to see the original characters reunite.
The Duffers acknowledge that ending a nostalgia-infused fan favorite will be more difficult than most.
Meeting Fan Expectations
The Duffers claim that the final season could supersede season 1, but meeting fan expectations will be difficult.
The freshman season of Stranger Things was the most beloved of the series, and ending a nostalgia-infused fan favorite will be more difficult than most.
Stranger Things seasons 1-4 are streaming on Netflix, building anticipation for the final episodes.
