Duffer Brothers Amp Up the ‘Stranger Things’ Hype by Mapping Out a Scene From the Final Season and Fans Are All for It

Hardly in the chronicles of Netflix’s history has there been a show as eagerly
anticipated as the Duffer Brother-created series, Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/]. The coming-of-age series had
the unique quality to strike a chord with people of all demographics, securing
its place as the platform’s premier show. The show blends intense gore and
suspense with the heartwarming innocence of its characters, which makes it a
captivating viewing experience. Amid the anticipation of the final showdown
between the Hawkins gang and the humanoid monster, the makers added fuel to the
fire. 

It has been over a year since fans got a peek at the face-off between the
monster-hunting teenagers and Vecna. Owing to the production delays, the
ultimate showdown’s anticipation grew considerably. Adding to it, the Duffer
Brothers recently provided a small insight into their preparations for the next
season, but with a twist. Ross Duffer shared a video on his Instagram story
[https://www.instagram.com/stories/rossduffer/], mapping out a scene from the
final season of Stranger Things with Funko pops.

The 39-year-old captioned the story by saying, “Shortlisting with Funkos”. The
fan pages then circulated the video on X, formerly Twitter, triggering a flurry
of fan theories. This video from Ross Duffer came a month after the release of
the new wave of Stranger Things Funko Pops. These pop figures dug deeper into
the fourth installment of the sci-fi horror series, with new figures of
characters holding things like weapons.

After seeing the video, fans took over the social media platform with their own
theories, taking their cues from the Funko video. 


CRAZY FAN THEORIES FOR STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5 

There is no shortage of fan speculations regarding what the makers will unfold
in the forthcoming and final season of the Millie Bobby Brown
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/] starrer. However, the Duffer
brother’s video sparked new and interesting theories, which, if true, could
bring the next season to a whole new dimension. One such theory is the
introduction of “rakes”, which is another deadly humanoid monster that possesses
the ability to teleport itself.

Fans also voiced their concerns about why Steve, played by Joe Kerry, looked
“dead”. Ahead of the fourth season’s release, fans became increasingly anxious
about the rumors regarding Steve’s death. However, the babysitter king survived
the treacherous creatures in the parallel realm.

Some even questioned why Lucas, played by Caleb McLaughlin, was not a part of
the scene. They questioned whether this meant that in this scene (and a majority
of the season) he would be in the hospital beside Max (Sadie Sink).

Fans also pointed out Will Byers’ hair, which is the only thing that remained
constant throughout the four seasons. While they may not be huge fans of his
dorky hairstyle, as per speculations, Will, played by Noah Schnapp, would regain
prominence in the final run
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-noah-schnapp-will-byers-to-sacrifice-himself-to-save-everyone-in-stranger-things-season-5/].
However, the truth behind these theories and speculations will only get
confirmation when the much-loved show explodes onto the small screens.
