How will the season be unique? Well, it'll be a soft reboot? XD

Mostly, the setting will be different, which is the biggest factor this season. The characters might fall into some Adam and Eddy style tropes (as a lot of writers have them; don't look at Stephen King!). The conflict borders on redundant and payoff has to be really high, despite it likely being completely unique. The plot is a little redux and a little new.

So, setting is the biggest factor. If the plot and characters are solid, then the biggest thing that will help or hurt the show going forward will be the execution of the conflict and the payoff (which has been a little lacking in previous seasons).
