According to Screenrant, this season will be a timeskip in which Vecna, played by Jamie Campbell Bower (Camelot, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones), and the other creatures from the Upside Down have invaded the city of Hawkins.

Ross give his statement in an interview with Screenrant about the series direction”Chapters One and Two: locked, mixed, scored, colored, DONE. ‘The Crawl’ is our favorite, most eventful first episode since Season 1. ‘The Vanishing of…’ (yeah yeah you think you know who blah blah) has by far the craziest cold open we’ve ever done. One of the sequences we’re most proud of this season.” He adds more fuel to the fire with a post on his official instagram page which gives a behind the scenes of the first chapter which will be dubbed “The Crawl”.
