In case you missed these from post-finale interviews this week, here are all the details confirmed by the Duffer Brothers:
- Hopper and Joyce realized Vecna was their former schoolmate off-screen during Seasons 4 and 5.
- Only the Duffers and Millie Bobby Brown know Eleven’s true fate.
- On the absence of Demogorgons in the finale: “Vecna wasn’t expecting a sneak attack on his home turf. They’re still out there somewhere.”
- It’s left up to audience interpretation whether Robin and Vickie are still together, and whether Jonathan and Nancy get back together.
- The upcoming live-action spin-off will explore the backstory of the rock inside the briefcase. No ‘80s setting, no returning characters, no Hawkins.
- There isn’t a single deleted scene from Season 5. However, some takes from the final scene were trimmed because there was “too much crying.”
- It remains ambiguous whether Henry Creel was manipulated by the Mind Flayer.
- Holly Wheeler and her friends were not originally planned to be part of Season 5.
