The award-winning Stranger Things captured its inspiration from 1980s pop culture and the elements of Stephen King’s narration. One of the biggest hits on Netflix has had its fans in a tight grip ever since the first season came out in 2016. The intriguing and captivating storyline made the viewers fall in love with the series, and bidding farewell to their beloved series is proving to be a difficult task. Now, with the SAG-AFTRA strike finally out of the picture, fans have received some positive news regarding their favorite show.

With season 4 ending in an open-ended manner, fans were left with many unanswered questions, including which characters will mark their return in the upcoming final season.

Stranger Things season 5 set to bring back familiar faces

Recently, it was confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that Dr. Owen and Vickie are all set to make a return in season 5. This revelation was a surprise for many, as season 4 left audiences wondering about Dr. Owens’s ambiguous fate. On the other hand, Vickie (played by Amybeth McNulty) made a brief appearance in Episode 1 of Stranger Things Season 4 as Robin’s love interest. It would be interesting to see what kind of impact her role brings in season 5.

Dr. Sam Owens (portrayed by Paul Reiser) made his debut in season 2 and returned again to play a significant role in season 4. The ending of season 4 led viewers to believe that Owens had died after being captured by Colonel Sullivan’s forces. However, his return in season 5 has now been confirmed, putting an end to all the uncertainty. Though the comeback of two old characters has brought a wave of happiness to the fandom, there is still no confirmation over the return of fan-favorite Eddie Munson.

After the highly successful season 4 of Stranger Things, fans are eagerly waiting to see what is in store for them in season 5.

What can the audience expect from season 5?

Stranger Things Season 5 will be the concluding part of the Duffer Brothers’ epic sci-fi saga. This highly anticipated season will serve as the last chapter in the journey of Eleven, Will, and the town of Hawkins. The finale of season 4 saw the main characters in a showdown with the antagonist Vecna. Additionally, Season 5 is all set to conclude Eleven’s battle against the villain and the Upside Down.

There has not been an official confirmation regarding the cast of Strange Things 5. The show has successfully avoided any controversial recasting decisions in the past and should maintain consistency for the fifth season. Even cast members whose characters died or may have been killed off are likely to be on screen again, including Sadie Sink’s Max, whose fate was in question in the season 4 finale.
