With the book, which hits North American bookstores on Tuesday (2/12), Nancy and Robin will uncover a new mystery that has plagued the city of Hawkins following supposed devastation due to an earthquake — which was actually caused by the villain Vecna.
However, Nancy or any other characters from the series are not expected to appear in a new live-action production. “I’ve heard rumors of spinoffs for Eleven, Steve, and Dustin… but that’s not that interesting, because we’ve already done that (exploring these characters),” creator Ross Duffer told Deadline.

The first volume of Stranger Things Season 5 is available on Netflix. The second volume premieres on December 25, and the final episode only on December 31, both at 10 p.m.
