Watch: Netflix release behind the scenes look at final season of Stranger Things

Netflix has released a behind the scenes look at the final season of Stranger Things, telling fans “We’re officially halfway through filming the fifth and final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things. Take it all in nerds, we’re going on one last final ride!”

“We’re just kind of savoring every single moment,” Sadie Sink (who plays Max) says in the video. Back in his famed hair and makeup chair, Jamie Campbell Bower (who plays Vecna) teases that “Season 4 was big. Season 5 definitely feels bigger.” Finn Wolfhard shares that he is particularly excited to film scenes “with the original four” — Will (Noah Schnapp), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Mike (Wolfhard), now that Will returned to Hawkins at the end of Season 4. But “like every season, you never know what to expect,” says McLaughlin.

Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer previously told Tudum that they wrote a 25-page mythology document for Netflix back in Season 1 that delves into the mythology and lore of the Upside Down. “We were like, ‘We know what’s going on in the Upside Down, more or less, but we want it to be unknowable. We want it to be mysterious,’ ” Matt Duffer explained. “But they were like, ‘Yeah, but can you write it down?’ And so we wrote it all down.”

While the audience learned quite a bit about the Upside Down in Season 4, there’s definitely more to come in Season 5. “The last remaining questions that are answered in that document, we’ve punted a couple of those to have some big reveals in Season 5,” said Ross Duffer during Geeked Week in June 2022. “And that’s really going to affect what Season 5 is about.”
