Netflix’s classic sci-fi thriller series Stranger Things is one step closer to its epic finale, with filming for its fifth and final season now officially wrapped.
Having captivated audiences for almost a decade with its supernatural narrative and 1980s appeal, Stranger Things is set to make its final bow. Netflix confirmed in December 2024 that production on the highly anticipated fifth season had been completed.
Series co-creator Ross Duffer reflected on the journey in a tearful Instagram post, mentioning that most of the child actors had grown up on set.
“They’ve become more than just actors — they’re family,” he posted. Duffer also commended the crew for their dedication, saying the team had worked tirelessly to create a powerful and fulfilling ending.
Production for season five formally resumed in January 2024. By July 15, the eight-year anniversary of the series premiere — the team had already reached the halfway point.
Cast members called the experience as bittersweet. Sadie Sink (Max) said the cast was “savouring every single moment,” while Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna) vowed that the final season “definitely feels bigger” than those that before it.
