Duffer Brothers dropped the official title of the Stranger Things Season 5 premiere episode at the annual Stranger Things Day celebration on Sunday, November 6. Called Chapter One: The Crawl, what does it hint at?
The photo posted on the show’s official social media pages featured the script for Stranger Things Season 5 premiere episode. Though the last and final season will not begin its production until 2023, it looks like the Duffer Brothers are already teasing the fans about what may come.

The script showed that the Duffer Brothers themselves penned the final season’s first episode.
According to TVLine, fans started to theorize that the title, The Crawl, might have hinted at its connection with the classic game Dungeons & Dragons, in which “heroes navigate a labyrinth environment/dungeon, battling various monsters, avoiding traps and solving puzzles.”
Stranger Things Season is believed not to continue where the fourth season left off, as a time jump will be featured.
“I’m sure we will do a time jump,” Ross Duffer told the publication in June. “Ideally, we’d have shot [Seasons 4 and 5] back to back, but there was just no feasible way to do that.”

Stranger Things Season 5 may be like Season 4 Part 2.
But compared to the previous season, Stranger Things Season 5 will not be a restart like the showrunners usually do.
“Season 5 is more really like Part 2 of Season 4,” Matt Duffer told Deadline.
In addition, unlike the supersized Season 4 episodes, the finale may not be feature-length, though the Duffer Brothers teased that it would be like Return of the King-ish, which was the last movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy that ran for three hours and 21 minutes.

Also, they told Variety the gap between the two seasons would be a little “shorter” this time because an initial outline was already introduced, and fans couldn’t afford to wait for another six-month hiatus between the first and second parts like what Season 4 featured.
