STRANGER THINGS season 5 is officially in production; Check out the behind-the-scenes photo of the cast

The final season of Stranger things is officially in production, and the show’s social media shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the cast gathered in a room, perhaps doing a reading before getting to work.

The Netflix series was about to begin production on its fifth season when the WGA strike began on May 2. The scripts had now been completed, but faced with the prospect of shooting without writers on set, creators, executive producers and showrunners the Duffer brothers he opted instead to postpone production, which was then further delayed by the actors’ strike.

The show’s returning main cast includes Davide Porto, Noah Grappa, Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer AND Charlie Heaton.

When it comes to the final season, co-creator Ross Duffer previously shared that this final chapter of the story will be an emotional arc for Will Byers (Noah Grappa) and which will tie the entire series together. Ross Duffer explained:

“Will will take center stage again [season] 5. This emotional arc for him is what will hopefully unite the entire series. Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one who is protected. So part of his journey isn’t just sexuality — it’s Will coming out as a young man.”

When previously describing Stranger Things 5, the writing team described the next chapter of the story as “like seasons 1 and 4 had a baby. And then that child was injected with steroids.”

We’ll see what that looks like soon enough. Stranger things The fifth season will arrive on Netflix in 2025.
