5 minutes to remember before tackling the first four episodes released on Netflix.

“A war is going to break out in Hawkins! You are our only hope.” Doctor Owens didn’t mean to say it so well…

Season 5 of Stranger Things is finally online, three and a half years after season 4. Yes, that’s a long time ago. And maybe you haven’t had time to delve back into Hawkins in recent weeks. So to refresh your memory, Netflix has just put online a long summary of almost 5 minutes, which recalls what happened in the previous chapter.

A recap to see below and which especially shows the Vecna case. The terrifying killer from the Upside Down recounted his origins, how he fell into the upside down world because of Eleven, and how he has been trying to get out ever since, to take control of our world. To do this, he opened numerous portals, using young victims who felt bad about themselves. Notably Max… And the only one who can stop him is of course little Eleven, whom Papa Brenner put back on her feet before being shot down. So are you ready to Run Up That Hill again?

This fifth season of Stranger Things is divided into three parts: Volume 1 has been online since November 27, Volume 2 will be released on December 26, before a finale on January 1, 2026 (all this at 2 a.m. French).
