What Is Stranger Things 5 About?
Set in the fall of 1987, the final season picks up in the aftermath of Season 4’s cliffhanger. Hawkins is under military quarantine following the opening of multiple Rifts. Vecna, the monstrous villain, has vanished, and the party’s mission is clear: find and destroy him.
Meanwhile, Eleven is once again forced into hiding as the government intensifies its hunt for her.

A darkness stronger and deadlier than anything they’ve faced before is rising. To survive, the full party must reunite for one final stand.
What Is Stranger Things Season 5 | New Mythology and Answers from the Upside Down

While parts of that lore have already surfaced, Ross Duffer confirmed that several key secrets have been saved for Season 5.
“The last remaining questions that are answered in that document… we’ve punted a couple of those to have some big reveals in Season 5,” Ross explained. “And that’s really going to affect what Season 5 is about.”
