For nearly a decade, Stranger Things has electrified audiences with heart-pounding thrills, 80s nostalgia, and unforgettable characters. From Hawkins to the Upside Down, it has become a global legacy that shaped culture and inspired millions. While fans are now eagerly waiting for the final season of Stranger Things, Netflix has now shared a featurette that looks back over the years of the show.
In the video, producer and frequent director Shawn Levy said, “It’s part of the magic of this show – even as we evolve, even as the storytelling becomes more epic, it’s always anchored in these characters who we love.”
The Duffer Brothers, creators of Stranger Things, also teased the upcoming season and stated that the fifth season is the “biggest season in terms
of action, in terms of visual effects, in terms of story,” but noted that “ultimately what people want is to see these characters together one last time.”
ABOUT STRANGER THINGS 5
The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
Stranger Things 5 arrives on Netflix in three unmissable drops: Volume 1 on November 26 (four episodes), Volume 2 on Christmas (three episodes), and The Finale on New Year’s Eve. At 5 PM PT sharp, the world will unite for one final adventure into the Upside Down.
