Stranger Things fans are in for a treat as the hit Netflix show gears up for its fifth season. The show’s producers recently shared a behind-the-scenes update, revealing that they are halfway through filming the highly anticipated new season.
The popular sci-fi drama, which first premiered in July 2016, has captured the hearts of viewers worldwide and catapulted its young cast to stardom. To mark the eighth anniversary of its debut, the producers released a teaser video showcasing familiar locations from the show and hinting at the return of fan-favorite characters.
The teaser features the original group of four characters – Mike, Lucas, Will, and Dustin – back together after being separated for much of the previous season. Fans can expect to see the gang reunited and facing new challenges in the upcoming season.
In addition to the core cast, the teaser also introduces new faces, including British actor Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays the villainous Vecna. The show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, are known for incorporating nods to 80s pop culture, and previous seasons have featured guest appearances from iconic actors of the era.
The teaser clip quickly garnered over a million views across various platforms, with fans expressing excitement for the final season. However, there was some controversy surrounding actor Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers, due to his previous statements regarding a political issue. Despite the backlash, Schnapp clarified his stance and reiterated his desire for peace and safety for all affected by the conflict.
As production continues on season five of Stranger Things, fans can look forward to more updates and sneak peeks leading up to the release of the highly anticipated final episodes. Stay tuned for more news and behind-the-scenes insights from the set of the hit show.
