There’s less and less time until Stranger Things 5 hits Netflix to bring the story of Eleven and her group of friends to a close, finally revealing the secrets surrounding Hawkins. This final season of the series created by the Duffer Brothers promises to be more intense than any before, which has fans wondering what will happen to the main characters and whether they’ll finally be able to defeat the terrifying Vecna. Here’s everything we know so far.
What Will Happen to Eleven in Stranger Things 5?
With Hawkins on the brink of collapse and Vecna still posing a terrifying threat, Eleven’s fate remains one of the most unsettling mysteries. Although details of her role in the final battle are still under wraps, all signs suggest she will play a key role in how the story ends.
Millie Bobby Brown, who has portrayed Eleven since the first season, has hinted that her character’s arc will end with an emotional—possibly tragic—conclusion.

A key detail adding to the tension is Eleven’s mysterious disappearance. It’s known that she vanished in June 1986, and the new season takes place over a year later, in the fall of 1987. This time gap has left a void in the group and raises serious questions about her physical and emotional state.
Everything points to her return being both shocking and decisive, with the potential to shift the entire direction of the narrative. The definitive ending of Stranger Things is near, and every clue only heightens the anticipation.
