It's taken eight years, but Stranger Things' large cast of characters. In season 1, the highlight was Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan teaming up to fight the Demogorgon, while Stranger Things season 2 introduced the legendary Steve and Dustin duo. Stranger Things season 3 further split characters into various groups, but the best pairings were El and Max and Steve and Robin.

Stranger Things season 5 will finally implement it, fulfilling my dream.

Stranger Things Season 5 Is Finally Pairing Up Nancy & Mike In The Upside Down Battle

Mike And Nancy Usually Work In Different Groups

Stranger Things season 5 will finally pair the Wheeler siblings, Nancy and Mike, in the final Upside Down battle. It is an unexpected yet wonderful surprise because Mike and Nancy are usually in different groups - Mike works with his friends, while Nancy alternates between Jonathan, Steve, and Robin. Mike and Nancy only work together toward the end of each season, when everyone unites in battle. However, they rarely pair up beforehand. Stranger Things season 5 suggests that Mike and Nancy will work together, which will be hugely satisfying, considering that we hardly see them interact on screen, let alone work together.

Stranger Things Hints The Wheeler Family Could Be More Important To Vecna Than The Byers In Season 5

Stranger Things Is Putting The Wheeler Family In The Spotlight

Not only will Mike and Nancy work together, but the Wheeler family will have a much more prominent role in Stranger Things season 5. All the family appear in the teaser, except for Ted, and the show even recast Holly Wheeler. These factors suggest that the Wheelers will be the season's focus, similar to the Byers in season 1. Nancy and Mike have always been central characters, while their younger sister, mom, and dad have had smaller roles. It will be fascinating to see the rest of the Wheelers in more significant roles this season.

Despite the suggestions that the Wheeler family will be at the center of Stranger Things season 5, we should not forget the importance of the Byers. They have been the heart of the show since the beginning, even more so once El and Hopper ed their family.

Despite the hints that the Wheeler family will be essential in Stranger Things season 5, we should not forget the importance of the Byers. They have been the heart of the show since the beginning, even more so once El and Hopper ed their family. Furthermore, a Stranger Things season 5 update suggests that Will Byers is central to the narrative, possibly as one of the keys to defeating Vecna. But he may only be part of the puzzle, as Mike and Nancy could make the Wheeler family integral to their victory as well.
