Anticipation is at fever pitch as Netflix prepares to launch the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. The new season premieres tonight with four episodes titled “The Crawl,” “The Vanishing Of…,” “The Turnbow Trap,” and “Sorcerer.” But just hours before the debut, a major spoiler leak has surfaced online, sending shockwaves through the fandom.
Scooper @MyTimeToShineH revealed that Noah Schnapp’s character, Will Byers, will acquire powers similar to Eleven’s in Season 5. This twist builds on years of speculation about Will’s deep connection to the Upside Down.
Will’s evolution has been teased since Season 1, when he was first abducted. His lingering ties to Vecna and the dark dimension have long suggested he might play a pivotal role in the final battle. The leak raises questions about whether Will will use his newfound abilities for good—or risk succumbing to darkness.
In a recent interview, Schnapp discussed Will’s journey across the series. “Will has grown from a scared, shy boy into a self-assured character,” he said, emphasizing how past trauma shaped his resilience. Fans now expect his transformation to reach its peak in Season 5, with powers that could rival Eleven’s.
The final season promises the most intense storyline yet. Hawkins is under military quarantine, complicating the group’s mission to defeat Vecna once and for all. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, the urgency to end the Upside Down threat intensifies.
The stakes are higher than ever, with friendships, family bonds, and survival all on the line. The leak about Will’s powers only adds to the suspense surrounding how the story will conclude.
Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things is produced by Upside Down Pictures and 21 Laps Entertainment, with executive producers Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen.
The star-studded cast includes:
