A behind-the-scenes tease gives some new details on what we might get from the much-anticipated final episodes
First, the bad news. Despite the last part of the most recent season coming out more than two years ago, the fifth and final season of Stranger Things won’t be out this year. The culmination to Netflix’s most iconic show won’t be seen until some point in mid to late 2025, presumably by which point all the cute kids we fell in love with back in 2016 will have beer bellies, five o’clock shadows and repeat prescriptions for osteoporosis medication.
The better news is that Stranger Things has started to sense our impatience, which is why it has begun to dribble out information about the final season. A two-minute behind the scenes featurette dropped online on Monday, revealing that filming for season five is about halfway completed. Concrete details about what we can expect to see are remarkably thin on the ground – the video’s dialogue is almost exclusively limited to a) we’re excited about Stranger Things, b) you should be excited about Stranger Things and c) Stranger Things is good – but the more eagle-eyed among you might have noticed a few hints in the background.
