Stranger Thingsseason 4 featured a nice mix of fun new characters like misunderstood rebel Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) and goofy Argyle (Eduardo Franco) and thrilling storylines. As was the case during the previous seasons, the main characters adjust to their changing world and fight the creatures of the Upside Down while dealing with the everyday problems of most teenagers. AsStranger Thingsseason 5 ups the action and makes the stakes as high as possible, fans hope that theirfavorite characters can survive the epic battlesthat are likely in store. Since Max Mayfield’s (Sadie Sink) emotional and heavy season 4 scenes are often accompanied by the Kate Bush song “Running Up That Hill,” it would be funif the fifth and final season used another great and unforgettable song.

Along with the returning main cast members, there are a couple of new characters:Dr. Kay (Linda Hamilton), Lt. Akers (Alex Breaux), and Derek Turnbow (Jake Connelly). Mike Wheeler’s sister has also been recast. While Tinsley and Anniston Price played Holly in previous seasons, Nell Fisher has taken on the role.
