The show left off with Max still in a coma, and the portals to the Upside Down being open. The official teaser for Season 5 posted by Netflix shows Max in a coma. It also shows Will getting the feeling on the back of his neck from the Upside Down, like previous seasons. Eddie’s grave was vandalized, possibly confirming his death. It also teases characters going back to the Upside Down and another clip of Vecna, who we can assume will return. November 26th could not come any sooner!
