Im just saying.. If steve dies in s5, im sueing netflix😭

[@NotSoldHere-p7s]

How Can I contact you chris? I want to share my theories with you

[@user-nn4en4qu3l]

When you talked about the photo on ross duffers insta, i have a good theory on who they could be, Vecna and an upside down Max. Max just like her brother (technically) died has a version of herself in the upside down, kinda like a vision because when Vecna kill’s people he keeps them with him, all the people he will kill will fight in his army in the final battle (but anyways) When she wakes up from her coma, upside down Max will torment real Max like her brothers upside down version did. Vecna will turn real Max to the upside down and give her powers. Then at the final battle Max & Vecna versus Eleven, Eleven will remind Max of her memories with El (in like a flashback style) like her brother and she will turn on Vecna and fight with El and Kill Vecna.

[@amymoquin8636]

Eddie!!!! Maya Hawke recently said that filming is going so slowly because they're essentially filming eight full length movies.

[@user-cc4em5hj4w]

Well the duffer brother said season 5 episodes will be shorter than season 4 episodes.

[@amymoquin8636]

@@user-cc4em5hj4w Yeah, but they said that back in 2022, which was before filming began, before the strike, etc. Things change during production and they really want to stick the landing. And an entire calendar year for just filming says a lot. I guess we'll see.

[@lessalazar9068]

I think she's dead

[@LaddyDaddy0201]

I think at least one of the two blurred out people is probably Linda Hamilton’s character, because the duffers don’t want to spoil her character design

[@Anarchyfae1]

There are a lot of people wearing fake mustaches and the Hawaiian shirts; almost looks like a tribute to Hopper actually and some of the characters you won't recognize because of either photo quality, distance, or mustache blocking their face.

[@FilmStocked]

Who do YOU think the two blurred out people are? 🤔

[@Technoboss9]

No idea 😅😅

[@ImSophia3]

Billy, max, Eddie, or eleven or holly

[@KaytheCat_]

This is going to sound crazy but I think there is a good chance that barb and vecna are the two blurred lol

[@jediconnor9349]

Either Eddie and Max or two new directors.

[@haydenhr5329]

Looks like max

[@radiated_penguin1429]

i personally think that the 2 blurred out people are female, they wouldent be wearing their set costumes, you are proabably right about them being new directors

[@SadFaceCat]

I hope it's Eddie :( and max wearing bright colors (it's summer time)

[@gagemosley8365]

Little know fact, billy's characters appearance was based off a John Mellencamp music video, "pink houses" to be exact. Pro tip, the music video was filmed in Indiana, the same state the show was based in

[@jacktaylor6943]

I remember 5 years ago today watching Stranger Things season 3 the day it came out with my sister and cousin we spent most of the day watching it and finished it that night it was awesome I can’t believe it’s been 5 years and I can’t believe the final season will be here before we know it!

[@joshuajohnson1796]

So excited Maya Hawke said the episodes will be long like 8 movies

[@tihseht472]

I've learned not to get your hopes up, actors tend to always say stuff like this n it's rarely true. GoT they all said the same thing n it wasn't true. Just trying to save you from disappointment as expecting long episodes and then being short sucks.

This is the second "confirmation" I've seen from him. I honestly don't think he'd play with us like that

[@Raccoon-Formers]

I like your new set🙂

[@Lunamiin]

I think the two blurred out people are Linda Hamilton and Nell Fisher. It would make sense to tease us abt it, also if you look right were Finn is you can see Jamie (vecna) and he's not in costume so they're not filming. I haven't spotted anyone else than them and David Harbour right by the Duffers :)

[@Kaylee_91]

The dark 2 people blurred out the one on the left has me thinking its him too because it also looks like longer hair too! Omg I so hope so! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Maybe the other person could be Barb?! Like flash backs about her? 🤷🏽‍♀

[@dogdog7883]

I cant contain this much excitement help me

[@tediursagameplay5678]

Halfway happy!

[@YouCantSpellCatsWithputTS22]

I have high hopes that the person on the left is Sadie. You can see some red hair (know she has red hair) also seeing the casts earnings) I feel like she’s gonna take a big role and they don’t wanna spoil ur “outfits or makeup.

[@Spfroggy]

2:42 I think person wearing bluish clothes might be Sadie sink

[@user-cc4em5hj4w]

(prediction).It will probably finish filming February 2025 because it's the 7th month and it's half way so 7+7=14 and 7 months from now is February. Probably expect 6 months editing and teasers so my prediction is stranger things season 5 will release late August time 2025.

[@arktik5077]

Okay!!! scream 5 fans will understand but... what if we get a hospital scene with max where she is being chased by vecna or a demogorgon or some kind of moster who has infiltrated hawkins... this could resemble the scene of tara running from ghost face and then her friends come to save her... perhaps lucas left her side to get a snack and could be the potential cause of maxs final death in the hospital chase.... THIS COULD THEN lead to lucas being a target of vecna with his guilt and trauma of letting his gf die.... mad theory and maybe a bit of a stretch but could be a possibility!!

[@rowdyrocky86]

My Stranger Things 5 theory is Vecna is actually El’s biological father that explains why they have most of the same powers and how Henry killed all of the test subjects except for her

[@Sup_8]

Yo I have a theory that I think is pretty intresting The white demogorgon seen in the russian prison in season 4 was obviously much stronger and faster than the hawkins one, right? So maybe there is more of a reason than "its a different stronger one" I personally believe it reflects how vecna was getting stronger, think about it, when will was taken and most likely throughout season 1 we can assume that vecna was still healing and restrengthening from his fight with El before hand. What if once Vecna took control the upside down and everything else from it took his physical condition aswell, maybe like the hivemind whatever condition vecna is in, the upside down is in, and vecna was weak still which could mean the demogorgon basically devolved and its strength was goveened by vecnas. But hey its just a stupid theory, please add onto it if you have any further ideas. Thank you
