Stranger Things: The Complete Scripts, Season 5
Go deeper into the groundbreaking, Emmy-winning series with the complete, authorized scripts of Stranger Season Five, including an exclusive introduction from the Duffer Brothers.
INT. WHEELER HOUSE - HOLLY’S BEDROOM - NIGHT
The Demogorgon's claw snaps around one of Holly's
boots and drags her backwards across the carpet.
Holly cries out and desperately grabs at the carpet, but the
Demogorgon is far too strong. It then does something we have
never seen it do before — it lunges up to the ceiling, grabs
onto the lip of the Rift, and PULLS, hauling its large but
limber body up through the Rift. Holly flips upside down as
the Demo drags her up with it. She is about to be pulled
through the Rift when at the last moment she reaches out
and —
WHAM!
All is not well in Hawkins. Vecna opened up a massive gate to the Upside Down and the town is in ruins. Max is in a coma; Eddie is dead; and though Hopper and Joyce are back with the kids, the group is forced to operate from the shadows. Vecna is weakened, but Will can still feel his presence. The friends are reunited and preparing to fight for their town—and their lives—together.
The Duffer Brothers' critically acclaimed series, Stranger Things, took the world by storm with its 80s nostalgia, dimension-hopping secrets, and charming cast of characters. Season Five brings the story to an end.
Collected here for the first time, the complete scripts of Stranger Season Five include the scenes, dialogue, and character directions for all eight episodes as well as an exclusive introduction from the creators and showrunners, Matt and Ross Duffer, aka the Duffer Brothers. Season Five's scripts reveal a unique insight into how the Duffers concluded the core good-vs-evil story that so captivated viewers and popular culture.

‘I was looking for answers in someone else, but turns out -- I had all the answers already. I just needed to stop being so damn scared. Scared of who I really was.
Once I did that, I was free. It's like -- I could fly. I could finally be --
WILL
Rockin' Robin.’

This read so much faster than S4 and at no point felt like it lagged. All the stuff from the show just read so much faster on the page. Note to self: this is a fast and easy way to scratch my ST itch whenever it shows up!
