Stranger Things season 5 has big plans for Jonathan Byers who has been sidelined in the storyline in the past seasons.

&#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Season 5 Will Bring Back Jonathan Byers Into the Limelight Tells This Tease

If Hawkins is the body of Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] storyline, the characters are
the soul that took the show toward profound success. One of those characters who
played an essential role in winning viewers’ heart when the series started was
Jonathan Byers, the elder brother of Will who got trapped in the Upside Down in
season 1. In the early days of the show, he was an integral character who fought
against monsters to save the town. However, as the story progressed, his screen
time continued to decline and was hardly there in season 4.

With fans eagerly awaiting the season 5 finale, it appears Jonathan will have a
significant part in the upcoming season.


STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5 GIVES JONATHAN THE MAJOR STORY ROLE

Stranger Things season 5 will be the last time fans will dive into the
supernatural world of Hawkins with their beloved characters. So this becomes
necessary to depict characters in their best versions. The official writer’s
page of the show on X, formerly Twitter, has been sharing a lot of pre-vis
teasers these days. One teaser included a scene where Jonathan Byers, Nancy
Wheeler, and Dustin were driving a car through the Upside Down.

The animated video revealed that season 5 will feature the character more
prominently. Also, the scene involved Nancy and Jonathan together, which means
they buried the hatchet after their strained relationship in season 4. Fans saw
in the penultimate season that the two could not meet each other. In fact, at
some point, it seemed Wheeler might reignite her fling with the popular jock,

This clip, however, has provided some hope for Jonathan and Nancy fans. Not to
mention, this Jonathan tease will also align perfectly with what creators
promised fans about the anticipated finale.


THE LAST SEASON WILL TAKE VIEWERS TO THE ROOTS 

In July 2022, Duffer Brothers sat down with Entertainment Weekly to talk about
the final showdown of Stranger Things. During the conversation, the duo teased
they will dive back into the past for season 5. “We wanna go back to a lot of
the things we did in season 1,” Matt told the outlet. According to them, the
debut season had many original groupings and pairings and they would focus on
them only instead of bringing something new.

The creators want to complete the circle and end the show with memorable moments
from favorite characters. Since season 1 showed Jonathan Byers in the limelight,
his getting back stronger would be fulfilling. However, as of now, no one knows
what these characters will face in season 5 because scripts are still underway.
Fans can only hope that the writers find the right moments to conclude this
storyline without leaving something important.
