Netflix provided a glimpse into the season’s plot:

“In the fall of 1987, Hawkins reels from the Rifts’ impact, and our heroes share one mission: locate and defeat Vecna,” the official synopsis states. “But Vecna has disappeared, his plans and location a mystery. The government’s military quarantine of Hawkins and its pursuit of Eleven force her into hiding once more.

“As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance nears, a familiar dread grows. The final confrontation looms, bringing a darker, deadlier force than they’ve ever encountered. To end this nightmare, the entire group must unite for one last stand.”

Netflix previously shared the episode titles for Stranger Things Season 5, arriving over three years after Season 4’s conclusion.
