The hype machine has officially kicked off for Strangers Things’ fifth and final season with a police poster…

The poster, above, tells us that a $3000 reward is being offered for the whereabouts of Jane Hopper – who fans will know is Eleven, the psychic girl who started the whole things, played by Millie-Bobby Brown.

What does it all mean? Well, there’s more…

I have no idea what this all means or what it’s hinting at or, indeed, who is really looking for Eleven but with the Duffer Brothers saying this season is like “eight blockbuster movies”  and calling it “our biggest and most ambitious season yet”, I’m pretty excited and one thing I’d put money on, is that a full trailer and release date cannot be far off.

A love letter to the ‘80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a thrilling drama set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested and lives will be altered as what they discover will change Hawkins and possibly the world — forever.
