Stranger Things 5 finale premiered on January 1, leaving fans wondering: Will there be Season 6?
The answer is no, as the Duffer Brothers have confirmed, Season 5 is the final chapter.
Stranger Things was always planned as a five-season story, the makers shared.
The final episode, released on Netflix, left fans debating Eleven’s fate.
Fans believed Eleven sacrificed herself to stop Dr Kay and destroy the Upside Down.
But in the conclusion, Mike believes she escaped, leaving the ending hopeful.
Even though the finale hints that Eleven may be alive, her story will not continue.
Stranger Things Universe isn’t over, though as a spin-off has been confirmed by the creators.
Hawkins’ story is officially over with the Upside Down finally destroyed for good.
The spin-off will feature new characters and a different world.
