Crazy Theories About Stranger Things Season 5

Read on to learn some predictions or theories about the final season of Netflix's ‘Stranger Things’ that will lift your excitement:

Will Byers Might Come Out As A Traitor in Stranger Things 5

In Stranger Things, Will Byers' connection to the Upside Down is what started the story. Season 4 ended with Will feeling Vecna's presence, and the Duffer Brothers hinted at a bigger role for Will in the final season. Some fans think Will might be revealed as a traitor due to his Upside Down connection and similarities with Henry Creel. But given the show's themes of found family and friendship, and considering Will's LGBTQ+ character dynamics, this theory isn't super likely.

Eddie Munson Might Return In Stranger Things Season 5

Fans would love to see Eddie Munson comeback in Stranger Things season 5. He was a breakout character in season 4, and Joseph Quinn's character sacrificed himself in the Upside Down. Some fans aren't convinced he's dead and wonder if he'll return, maybe even as a monster. But bringing Eddie back risks undoing the impact of his sacrifice and messing with the ending. Joseph Quinn is currently busy with other projects including ‘A Quiet Place’ and ‘MCU’, therefore, seeing Eddie again has lesser chances.

Eleven's Sister Kali Might Return To Help Her Beat Vecna

Eleven's trip to Chicago in season 2 is kind of underused in Stranger Things. Kali, Eleven's sister, didn't show up in season 4 flashbacks. Some fans think Kali could return to help Eleven fight Vecna using her illusion powers. It's a toss-up if this'll happen—it'd explain a subplot otherwise left hanging.

Vecna Might Not Be Stranger Things Season 5's Main Villain

Vecna is a big threat in Stranger Things season 5, but one theory says he's not the true villain. In the game Dungeons & Dragons, Borys is more powerful than Vecna. This theory suggests Stranger Things might introduce a second Big Bad in the final season, fitting the show's pattern of escalating threats.

Even the cast members like Gaten Matarazzo, Millie Bobby Brown, and Maya Hawke have hinted that one of the kids might die. Given the show's darkening tone, this theory seems fairly plausible.
