Fans cannot stop speculating about what Stranger Things Season 5 is going to be like and we don’t blame them. The fan theories are almost as interesting as the series itself. The show has been one of the most-loved series around the world ever since its release in 2016. It has been quite a while since a series has had such a huge cultural impact. And given the blockbuster Season 4, the groundwork for an even better upcoming season had already been laid.

Not to mention that Season 5 is going to be the finale of this thrilling science fiction series. While the Duffer Brothers and the rest of the cast have mostly remained tight-lipped, many believe that the upcoming season will be Will-centric. He has always been the main character and given how the previous seasons have mostly revolved around other characters, it would only be just to have a Will-centric season 5.

Will Stranger Things Season 5 be Will-centric?

The Duffer Brothers have let slip that the final season of the series will be traced back to its roots. Shawn Levy, who is the executive producer of the series, said that Season 5 will be “more Hawkins-centric” as reported by E! News. The gang will be stuck in the small town of Indiana. But apart from that, fans believe that the finale will mostly be revolving around Will.

After becoming a favorite in Season 2, the third and fourth seasons saw little to no growth in Will’s storyline, besides the fact that he is in love with his best friend, Mike. A popular fan theory going around online is that Vecna was behind his kidnapping in Season 1, and that he still has some connection with him.

In a scene, while talking to Mike about how he has been feeling, Will says “I can still feel him.”

While some believe that Will may turn into a villain in the upcoming season, others believe that he will somehow get superpowers like Eleven.

Given how Will lost himself in the first season, it would make sense that he finds himself in the last season of the series. And even if the final season is not going to be major about him, fans want to see him play an important role. The fact that he has only been doing the bare minimum in the past two seasons is also proof that his character will have a greater role in Season 5.
