What Steve’s New Job May Mean For Stranger Things Season 5
It’s Good News For Hawkins & For Steve.
Steve overseeing communications that can help save Hawkins and the whole world from the threats of the Upside Down could be an effective way to culminate his growing maturity and responsibility throughoutStranger Things.
While Steve working at a radio station may seem like an inconsequential detail, it couldhint at his role and the state of Hawkins in the upcoming season. When Hawkins was last seen in theStranger Thingsseason 4 finale, it looked apocalyptic as smoke poured out of the fissures caused by the recent earthquake, and the Upside Down’s white ash began coating the ground as most of the town’s denizens fled elsewhere. This made it seem like Hawkins would lose all sense of normalcy and practically become a war zone, abandoned by nearly everyone but the core characters.
The Complete Stranger Things Timeline Explained
Take a closer look at the complete Stranger Things timeline, beginning with the founding of Hawkins, Indiana, and what we know about season 5.
If Hawkins is still running its regular radio station and if Steve is still looking for everyday work,there may still be some normalcy in Hawkins. The issues caused by Vecna and the Upside Down bleeding into Hawkins will not be any less dire, butStranger Thingsseason 5may not open with the characters living on the precipice of the apocalypse. It is promising that Steve and his friends may still be living without everything being about fighting the supernatural threats that plague them.
Steve having some control of Hawkins' radio station may also serve a practical purpose,as it may help with communication not only within the town but potentially with the outside world, too. His good friend, Dustin, and Dustin’s friends, who were part of Hawkins Middle School’s AV Club, would also be well-suited to helping Steve out with radio communications. Steve overseeing communications that can help save Hawkins and the whole world from the threats of the Upside Down could be an effective way to culminate his growing maturity and responsibility throughoutStranger Things.
