Netflix viewers certain Stranger Things season five will feature a twist fans 'wont like'
Netflix's popular show Stranger Things is set to be released in November this year and fans are convinced there will be a twist nobody will enjoy.
Stranger Things fans are convinced that season five will include a twist that might 'not sit well' with viewers. The final season of the popular Netflix series is scheduled to be released in three parts: the first volume, featuring four episodes, premieres on November 26, the second volume with three episodes, drops on December 25 and the series finale arrives on December 31.
Season four ended back in July of 2022, with an explosive finale which saw Vecna, portrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower - revealed to be Dr Brenner's Number One and also known as Henry - managed to merge the Upside Down with Hawkins.
The episode ended with several cliffhangers, including what happens to Max (Sadie Sink). After being killed by Vecna, Max is briefly revived by Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), but she remains in a coma, the Mirror reports.
Will, played by Noah Schnapp, can feel Vecna's presence and senses that the villa is still alive, hinting at an ultimate showdown in Season Five.
Fans of the show enjoy playing detective to uncover clues about upcoming seasons, and this time is no different.
According to Stranger Things Hub, a fan recently dug up an old interview with David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper, suggesting there might be a big twist in Season Five.
In the interview, he stated: 'The Duffers have been building up to something big for season 5. And that many people may not like it, but it's what the Duffers feel is right." Stranger Things was created by Matt and Ross Duffer, who are professionally known as The Duffer Brothers.
Fans have been speculating what twists could happen in the upcoming series, with some believing that something will happen to 'Byler' the couple name fans came up with to refer to Mike Wheeler and Will Byers.
However, The Duffer Brother have confirmed that romance won't be a central theme in season five.
Speaking to the publication Collider, they said: "It's not like there's going to be time to explore our characters' love life and how Steve's dating is going, there's gonna be none of that, it's just gonna be going like 100 miles an hour."
Instead, fans will learn more about the mysterious Upside Down. The brothers further stated: "The big reveals that are coming in Season Five are really about the Upside Down itself, which we've only started to hint at."
They continued: "There was a moment in Season Four, Episode Seven that shows it's frozen in time. We teased a few more reveals in Volume Two. But it's all connected to Vecna, a.k.a. Henry, and his journey. What we haven't fully explained is what the Upside Down actually is."
'What is that place? Where was Vecna when he discovered the Mind Flayer? Those are the last big reveals coming in Season 5," they concluded.
Fans responded to the season five news on X following a tweet from Stranger Things Memes. The tweet read: 'Stranger Things 5 will have a shocking twist that fans might not like.'
A third predicted: "It was all a game." While others speculated that the major twist could involve the death of one of the beloved character.
