Context and Setting
The story of the final season takes place in the fall of 1987. Hawkins remains scarred by the catastrophic events caused by the Rifts, as the group unites for one final mission — to find and destroy Vecna.
“Vecna has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown.”
The government has placed the entire town under military quarantine and intensified its search for Eleven, who is once again forced into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s mysterious disappearance nears, an uneasy sense of dread begins to rise among the residents of Hawkins.
