""One last fight, and this whole nightmare, it'll be over," Hopper (David Harbour) promises to Eleven (Millie Bobbie Brown) in the beginning of Stranger Things's long-awaited series finale. "It'll finally be over." All due respect to the detective, but I had my doubts. All throughout the promotion of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, series co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer promised that they fully intended for this story to end."
"This seemed highly improbable for the streaming service that threw Cate Blanchett into a random alley at the end of Squid Game, just to keep stoking the flames of the franchise and give those green jumpsuits a place at the Netflix House. So, let's cue a well-deserved encore of David Bowie's "Heroes" for the Duffer brothers. Despite an uneven final season, the sibling creators closed the book on the series in the finale, which hit Netflix on New Year's Eve."
Stranger Things concludes with a definitive final hour that restores Hawkins and resolves the Upside Down threat. The Duffer brothers committed to a true ending with no post-credits teases or dangling hints. The finale, titled "The Rightside Up," features a rapid, intense climax including a Vecna/Mind Flayer confrontation and emotional closure for major characters. Hawkins returns to normal ground, freed from interdimensional terror and literal bottom-floor status. The finale premiered on Netflix on New Year's Eve. The final season contains uneven moments, but the concluding episode delivers closure and a resonant final scene.
