The Duffer brothers told Tudum about a mythological document they wrote for Netflix, which talks about the upside-down and its mysteries. They said:
"We were like, we know what’s going on in the Upside Down, more or less, but we want it to be unknowable. We want it to be mysterious. But they were like, Yeah, but can you write it down?’ And so we wrote it all down."
Stranger Things season 5 will be based on the document's last few pages, as hinted by Ross Duffer. He said:
"The last remaining questions that are answered in that document, we’ve punted a couple of those to have some big reveals in Season 5. And that’s really going to affect what Season 5 is about."
More news about Stranger Things season 5 is expected to arrive soon. Meanwhile, fans can watch previous seasons of Stranger Things on Netflix.
