On New Year's Eve, fans will officially know all there is to know about the Upside Down when Stranger Things premieres its final episode of the series.
But before then, there are still several questions viewers need answered before they can rest easy.
Keep reading for the biggest questions that still need to be answered in the Stranger Things series finale.
RELATED: What Time the ‘Stranger Things’ Finale Drops in Your Time Zone
The last time we saw Dr. Owens, he was chained to a table inside the secret underground lab in Nevada after being captured by the military in season 4. Since then, there’s been no confirmation of his fate. Did he escape? Was he rescued? Or was he left behind when everything else went sideways?
What Were the Giant Eggs in the Upside Down in Season 1?
When Hopper and Joyce entered the Upside Down to search for Will in the first season, they passed by several massive, slimy eggs that appeared to have already hatched, with goo dripping from their shells. The show never explained what came out of them. Were they Demogorgons? Something larger? Or something we haven’t seen yet?
The Upside Down appears to be locked in time on the day Will Byers was taken. We now know from Stranger Things Season 5 that the Upside Down functions as a wormhole or bridge between worlds, but why that specific date remains frozen has never been fully explained.
What Exactly Is Vecna Connected to When He’s ‘Resting’?
In Seasons 4 and 5, Vecna is shown hooked into thick vines and organic structures while his victims are suspended on spire-like formations with tubes forced into their mouths. The show hasn’t clarified what those tubes are feeding them or whether Vecna himself is connected to a larger living system.
Why Does Will Still Feel Vecna?
Even after years have passed, Will’s connection to Vecna has never completely faded. The show has confirmed that the bond is real, but hasn’t explained why Will, specifically, remains so strongly tied to the Upside Down.

In Season 4, Erica threatened to tell Dustin what Lucas had hidden under his bed, and Lucas was immediately horrified. The moment was played for laughs, but the show never circled back to it. Fans have been joking about it for years and still want to know what could possibly embarrass Lucas that much.
What Is Vecna’s Master Plan?
By Season 5, it’s clear Vecna isn’t acting randomly, but his master plan has yet to be spelled out. The show established that he needs exactly 12 children as part of his endgame. Fans have pointed out that the number may connect back to Vecna’s long running obsession with time, particularly the grandfather clock imagery introduced in Season 4, where his attacks were always preceded by its chime.
With 12 hours on a clock face, the idea that Vecna’s plan is built around a complete cycle rather than a random number of kids has gained traction. Still, the series hasn’t confirmed what the 12 children are meant to activate, power, or unlock, and it’s left viewers heading into the finale with one major question: what is Vecna actually trying to finish?

Where Is the Mind Flayer?
The Mind Flayer was seemingly the big bad in Seasons 2 and 3, but it somewhat fell to the wayside in Season 4 when Vecna took center stage. We have yet to see the creature this season, and while Dustin previously guessed that it’s the one in control and Vecna is just his “five-star general,” that hasn’t been confirmed. Will the Mind Flayer make his return in the finale?
Thankfully, we don’t have long to wait. The Stranger Things series finale hits Netflix at 8 p.m. ET on New Year’s Eve.
