New cast members in Stranger Things Season 5

Season 5 will introduce some fresh faces. Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux are set to join the cast. Additionally, Linda Hamilton, known for The Terminator, will play a role in the final season. Although her character details are under wraps, Hamilton shared her excitement at 2023’s Tudum: A Global Fan Event in 2023. A self-proclaimed fan of the series, she humorously admitted, “I don’t know how to be a fangirl and an actress at the same time.”

What’s Stranger Things Season 5 about

Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of the show, revealed they’ve had the mythology of the Upside Down mapped out since Season 1. They wrote a 25-page document detailing its mysteries and lore, which continues to shape the story.  

Season 4 answered some big questions about the Upside Down, but Season 5 promises even more revelations. “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,” said Ross Duffer during Geeked Week in June 2022. “And that’s really going to affect what Season 5 is about.”
