Despite speculation, a subtle hint has sparked hope among fans. Noah Schnapp, the second most important character following Millie Bobby Brown has recently started following Linnea Berthelsen (008/Kali Prasad) on Instagram. This sudden movement has set tongues wagging, which is the only indication that has made fans consider the theory- could the vengeful character Kali Prasad return in Stranger Things 5?

With word out there in public, fans are now eagerly anticipating Berthelsen's potential comeback, wondering how Kali's storyline will unfold as a backstory to the main plot. Her character's complex past with the gang and her vendetta against the lab make a decent enough reason to return. Hence, there is no doubt that Kali's reappearance could bring fresh dynamics or conflicts with Brown's Eleven at play.
