The Fosters season 5: See Maia Mitchell, cast in latest photo
This image is the first cast photo of its kind since the third season 3 of the show, but this one feels a little bit warmer and more organic than that one did. This one also shows just how much Jude has grown up! We know that the fifth-season premiere will pick up moments after the end of season 4, but we’re starting to wonder if there’s going to be a time jump to compensate for Hayden Byerly’s growth spurt and the longer hair at the same time. (Jude isn’t the only one with a change in style — what about Stef’s new glam look?)
Moving into season 5, the character in the most danger at the moment is clearly Callie, given that in the closing minutes she found herself in a desperate position after making the (incorrect) decision to flee. We know that Stef is looking for her, but she’s going to have to act quickly to do so before something else happens to her. Meanwhile, tensions between Jesus and Brandon have already boiled over in the wake of Emma’s pregnancy and the after-effects of that. There’s also the protests around Anchor Beach, which opted to become a private school at the end of the fourth season. Will that last? It’s depressing to think so, though it is a further reminder that Nick’s father is the biggest villain on the show. His inability to help his son led to the incident of him bringing a gun to school, and he’s now taking out most of that rage on the school by wandering around and flexing his “influence.”
In a way, we do want Nick’s father to turn up just so someone could show him the error of his ways, but there is also that very-conscious fear that he just won’t learn anything and continue to be a thorn in everyone’s side. We’ll learn in a matter of days just what way the needle points there.
