Stranger Things creators the Duffer brothers have revealed the four episodes they recommend rewatching ahead of the release of Season 5 on Netflix.
Ross and Matt Duffer told The Hollywood Reporter that the four episodes listed below are essential to understanding where the story heads in Season 5, which launches on November 26.
The four Stranger Things episodes are below:
Season 2, Episode 4, “Will the Wise”
Season 2, Episode 6, “The Spy”
Season 4, Episode 7, “The Massacre at Hawkins Lab”
Season 4, Episode 9, “The Piggyback”
Matt Duffer told THR that Season 2 “is when we really started to build out the mythology and began diving into everything—how this was going to be an ongoing [series]. That’s where we planted the seeds for the mythology, and I think that’s why it’s still so relevant.”
Ross pointed to the Season 4 episode, “The Massacre at Hawkins Lab,” which “starts unveiling some of the Upside Down mythology and begins offering answers, and, of course, the storylines with Henry (Bower) and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) continue to echo throughout Season 5.”
Earlier this month, the Duffers promised fans that Season 5 would finally answer one of the biggest unanswered questions since Season 1’s explosive debut a decade ago.
