One of Netflix’s most popular TV shows, Stranger Things, is returning for a fifth and final season. Not much is known about the story and plot, at least not officially, and the writers have now released a statement about Season 5 that describes the upcoming season in a way few could have predicted.
The Stranger Writers account, an official social media page relaying the thoughts of the show’s writers, recently said Season 5 should be thought of as if Season 1 and Season 4 had a baby. But the writers didn’t stop there. They said, “And then that baby was injected with steroids.”

Co-creator Matt Duffer previously told Collider that Season 5 will place a good amount of focus on the character Will Byers, who is played by Noah Schnapp. “We’re starting to see his coming of age, really. Which has been challenging for a number of reasons, some of which are supernatural. But you’re starting to see him come into his own,” Matt Duffer said.
