Summary
Afterthe incredible season 4 ending, fans ofNetflix’sStranger Thingswish that they could watch season 5 right away. Unfortunately, there’s still quite a bit of a wait, since the last season will premiere on the streaming platform in 2025. Ever since the fourth season finale, the talented cast members and showrunners/creators the Duffer Brothers have talked about season 5 here and there, and fans are glad to hear everything that they have to say.
Jamie Campbell Bower, who played the alarming and memorable villain Vecna, gave a recent interview where he spoke aboutStranger Thingsseason 5. What did he say that fans can expect from the new episodes, and what could Vecna’s role in the final season of the hit Netflix show be like?
Jamie Campbell Bower’s Comments Suggest A Surprising Stranger Things Season 5
According toThe Hollywood Reporter, in June 2024, Jamie Campbell Bower was interviewed on the iHeart Radio podcastI’ve Never Said This Before With Tommy DiDarioand talked aboutStranger Thingsseason 5.Jamie Campbell Bower saidthatStranger Thingsseason 5 is “wild"and explained:
“If you thought last season was nuts, this season is just out of control, wild, like, it’s bonkers. It really, really is. It’s bigger. It’s just completely insane. It’s completely insane.”
Based on what Jamie Campbell Bower said, it seemsfans will be surprised byStranger Thingsseason 5 because it will feature some unexpected moments and exciting scenes. When the actor says that season 5 is “bonkers” and “bigger,” he could mean that every main character will be the focal point and will have a satisfying final arc. Fans hopeWill Byers (Noah Schnapp) will have an exciting storyline, but there’s also the hope that his friends and family will, too, since this is the end.
Jamie Campbell Bower didn’t go into detail, which makes sense since the cast, writers, and the Duffer Brothers are staying quiet about what’s going to happen inStranger Thingsseason 5. But it seems that fans will be shocked by at least a few moments in the last episodes, which is a good thing since it would be a shame if the final season felt too predictable.
With almost no information about season 5 out there, fans are free to imagine what Eleven and her friends will get up too, just likeviewers have theories about the Upside Down. Since Jamie Campbell Bower said season 5 is “bigger” and “wild,“it’s possible a character other than Eleven could take charge in the battle against Vecna. It’s hard to predict who it could be, but if Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo) or Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin) made a plan and inspired everyone to get to work, that would be fun to see. Fans know Eleven will use her powers for good, but others will likely step up for the big fight.
What Roles Has Jamie Campbell Bower Played?
While fans wonderif Kali Prasad (Linnea Berthelsen) will be inStranger Thingsseason 5, they also want to know just how much screen time will be devoted to saving Hawkins. Although that’s still a mystery, it seems thatStranger Thingsseason 4 could switch up the format and do things differently. It would be cool to see flashbacks and flashforwards and a non-linear timeline. After all, as Jamie Campbell Bower said, people will find it “wild,” and it seems like the storytelling will be powerful and unexpected.
What Could Happen To Vecna In Stranger Things Season 5?
When thinking about Vecna’sStranger Thingsseason 5 storyline,it seems clear that Eleven and her friends will fight Vecna in the final episodes. It’s possible that a huge battle will be teased in the season 5 premiere and will then take place in the series finale.
Since theStranger Thingsseries finale is going to be fairly long, it seems that fans can definitely expect Vecna to be front and center. According toThe Hollywood Reporter, the Duffer Brothers were interviewed on Josh Horowitz’s podcastHappy Sad Confusedin July 2022 and said that while season 5 will have shorter episodes, the series finale is going to be meatier. Matt Duffer explained, “We’re more likely to do what we did here, which is to just have a two-and-a-half-hour episode.”
It’s possibleVecna could spend some time building up an army of villains who are going to fight The Partyand fans will see Vecna picks his victims. WhileStranger Thingsseason 5 did a great job of sharing Vecna’s backstory as Henry Creel and 001,Stranger Thingsseason 5 will likely focus on this big fight, and there’s no doubt it’s going to be memorable.
