Max and Eddie's destiny
Sadie Sink's character Max Mayfield's destiny is unknown, however Sink has stated that she will be "running in some way" in Season 5. Eddie Munson, played by Joseph Quinn, is most certainly dead, however Quinn intimated that he could return.

The Stranger Things universe expands
While Season 5 marks the series' finale, the universe will live on through the stage production Stranger Things: The First Shadow and an upcoming animated spinoff series.
"In the fall of 1987, one last adventure begins," the teaser video says.
"If season 4 was big, season 5 definitely feels bigger," Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna) stated in a behind-the-scenes clip.
