“Stranger Things” celebrated the halfway point of filming with a behind-the-scenes video introducing three new actors.
The hit Netflix series created by the Duffer brothers concludes with its fifth and final chapter, with Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly and Alex Breaux joining the cast in time for Hawkins’ ultimate showdown.
“To celebrate the halfway point of filming on Stranger Things 5 - and 8 years of Stranger Things! – we’re taking a very special look at the making of the final season,” Netflix announced today (July 15) on Twitter/X.

In the clip, the actors recall their experiences and look back at the series’ debut on the streamer 8 years ago, on July 15, 2016.
“I started when I was 10 and I’m 20 now,” said Eleven actress Millie Bobby Brown. “It feels very strange.”

“We’re just enjoying every single moment,” said Nancy actress Natalia Dyer.
Expectations are higher than ever, as Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays the villain Vecna, confirms.

Earlier this month, co-creator Ross Duffer shared a photo of the cast posing together on the soundstage, saying they were in “week 24” and celebrating being halfway through production.
This could mean that the final season will hit Netflix in early 2025, as star Maya Hawke reminded fans to prepare for theatrical-length episodes, similar to Season 4.
“It takes a long time to write each season and it takes a long time to shoot,” she told Penn Badgley’s Podcrushed podcast. “We’re basically making eight movies. The episodes are very long.”
Seasons 1 to 4 of Stranger Things are streaming on Netflix. A fifth and final season is in production. Stranger Things: The First Shadow is now available to book at the Phoenix Theatre in London until February 2025. Tickets are available now.
