Wow! I didn’t hear that! Thanks for clearing it up. I was figuring with the way season 4 ended, season 5 was gonna pull a last Jedi and take off right from where season 4 left offThey announced that the next session will have a pretty significant time jump. From what I understand, it won't be an 'IT' level jump, but the characters will be played more age appropriate.
Now hearing there is gonna be a jump, I wonder how far the vecna virus will spread in the real world..
And where is hopper going to be hiding this whole time?
