To close out Stranger Things Day 2022, Netflix has revealed that the first episode of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things is called 'Chapter One: The Crawl.'
Netflix shared the news on Twitter, and the title was shared
on what appears to be the script for the first episode that will be written by
The Duffer Brothers, the creators of Stranger Things.
There were no further details revealed about this episode or
Season 5 as a whole, and we still have no indication as to when the final
season will arrive on Netflix.
The Duffer Brothers have previously shared that Season 5
will likely be shorter than Season 4, and that the series as a whole very well
may have a "Return of the King-ish" ending.
“I just like shaking it up, so we shake it up by changing
the plot or adding in a new monster. We’re doing our best to resist [adding new
characters] for Season 5. We’re trying not to do that so we can focus on the OG
characters, I guess,” Matt Duffer said.
Maya Hawke had her own idea of how she wanted her character
Robin Buckley to end Season 5 and that was with a “hero’s moment.”
“I would love to die and get my hero’s moment,” she told
Rolling Stone in an interview. “I’d love to die with honor, as any actor would.
But I love the way that the Duffer Brothers love their actors. The reason that
they write so beautifully for me and for everyone else is because they fall in
love with their actors and their characters, and they don’t want to kill them.
I think that’s a beautiful quality that they have, and I wouldn’t wish it
away.”
Stranger Things Day had more surprises in store besides the title reveal, including the news that Stranger Things VR will arrive in winter 2023 and will let you play as Vecna and "enact revenge on Eleven and Hawkins."
