Stranger Things Season 4 came out over three years ago, so we don’t blame you if you need a recap to prepare for Season 5. But if you don’t have time to rewatch all 13 hours of Season 4 — not to mention the three prior seasons! — you’ve come to the right place.
Above, we’ve put together a comprehensive one-minute guideline of everything you truly need to remember going into Stranger Things‘ fifth and final season. Who’s Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower)? Which members of the Hawkins party perished last season? And why in the world did Joyce (Winona Ryder) and Hopper (David Harbour) have their Soviet Union side quest again?
OK, the last one we can’t really answer, because let’s be real, that plotline could have been an e-mail. But when it comes to everything else Stranger Things, we’ve got you covered. Watch our recap, then get ready to jump right back into Hawkins.
