Netflix Reveals Official Poster for Stranger Things 5
Through its official social media channels, Netflix posted a new (very revealing) poster for the fifth season of Stranger Things, which has created a buzz among all the fans.
This isn’t just any image: it’s a missing person poster. But what surprised most is that it features Eleven or Jane Hopper, the character played by Millie Bobby Brown, indicating that, in the fifth season, the teenager is still on the run from the law, as she has been pursued by the U.S. government since the first season.

Here’s the official poster shared by Netflix:
