6 Months Later, ‘Stranger Things’ Fans Can Return to Season 5 With This Exciting New Release

It's been six months since Stranger Things Season 5 brought Netflix's horror-fantasy series to a dramatic end, but fans can officially revisit the final chapter with an exciting new release. Stranger Things: The Complete Scripts, Season 5 is now on shelves. The final addition to Netflix's collection of bound scripts presents the last eight episodes in a new light. It's the perfect addition to any collector's shelves, but it's also an intriguing read for diehard fans of the series.

For one, Matt and Ross Duffer's introduction offers fascinating nuggets of information about the creation of Stranger Things Season 5. They discuss why it felt like the right time to wrap things up, and they share the "north star" they were working toward the whole time: that final scene where Mike and his friends play a game of D&D before going their separate ways. Although some aspects of the last season were added — the vanishing of Holly Wheeler among — the Duffers knew what they wanted that last shot to be. And watching Mike pass the mantle to Holly is a fitting depiction of the show's themes.

"We knew that Mike would look down from the top of the steps at this generation," they wrote, "feeling melancholy but also happiness that Holly would now get to experience the rush of childhood, with all its joy, excitement, and pain. And then the final shot: Mike closing the basement door — closing the door on his childhood."

On top of the insightful introduction, the scripts themselves are worth digging into. Although we've all experienced the events of Stranger Things Season 5 on-screen, the scene-setting and directions between the dialogue adds context that isn't as obvious in the final product. It puts a fresh spin on the story, and the Duffers maintain their voice even in those elements. It makes for a fun reading venture.
