The Upside Down has been a major mystery since Netflix’s Stranger Things began streaming in 2016. This alternative dimension is the place where no one would want to spend a single moment. However, the characters of the show somehow keep on ending up in this terrifying place every single time. While the fourth season revealed Vecna was the mastermind who controlled its creatures, with the show moving to the fifth and final season, fans have put forward some ideas about its future depiction.

New pictures of the set of Stranger Things season 5 recently surfaced on social media. The photos featured the National Hawkins Lab, which has played a significant role in the storyline. The page that shared these snaps pointed out that the team might be building Upside Down inside the lab as the set had all the props that resemble the red, scary, and warped version of Hawkins, Indiana.

It is quite intriguing considering season 4 showcased the merge of Upside Down with Hawkins. Max’s initial death triggered an earthquake in the city, leading to the expansion of the dimension. This sneak peek from the sets has captured the interest of fans who have been wondering what Eleven and her friends would do to save their city.

Fans have filled the threads with their theories, predicting that season 5 would show the creation of Upside Down.

Stranger Things fans speculate about the depiction of Upside Down 

The mysterious origin of Upside Down has been the subject of debate among fans for several years. The biggest one is whether Eleven created it became frozen in time on Nov. 6, 1983, the same day Eleven opened the mother gate in Hawkins Lab. After seeing this post, fans did not waste time and shared their views on the matter. Many fans said that season 5 will finally take viewers back to 1983 when the Upside Down was created or it has spread all around Hawkins.

Fans are losing their mind thinking about what the future holds for Hawkins and how Upside Down will be a part of it.

While fans have again added new theories to the mysteries of the supernatural world, the cast has returned to the set to shoot the last season. So only time will tell if the creators reveal how this alternative dimension came into existence. However, from what the Duffer Brothers have said in the interviews, they want to focus on concluding the war that Eleven started a long time ago instead of exploring new things.
