Go Behind the Scenes of Stranger Things 5
Netflix is taking you behind the scenes of Stranger Things 5 today with a new video titled “One Last Adventure.” The streaming service describes the final season as follows: “Whether you’re a nerd, jock, parent, or even a defected Russian scientist, this party has always been for you.”
Stranger Things 5 will release this fall, with four episodes dropping on November 26, followed by three episodes on Christmas, and the series finale on New Year’s Eve. Each volume releases at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT.
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.
Netflix previously announced the titles of the episodes in Stranger Things 5, which include “The Crawl,” “The Vanishing of …,” “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape from Camazotz,” “The Bridge,” and “The Rightside Up.”
A love letter to the ’80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a thrilling drama set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events.
Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested, and lives will be altered as what they discover changes Hawkins — and possibly the world — forever.
Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things debuted in July 2016 and quickly became one of Netflix‘s most popular television series ever, with its fourth season alone amassing over 140.7 million views globally. Rooted in ’80s nostalgia, it has sparked a resurgence of pop culture items from the decade with every new season, including Eggo waffles and New Coke.
The series has also garnered over 70 awards worldwide, including Emmys and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, and has been nominated for over 230 awards.
Stranger Things fans everywhere celebrate November 6 – the day Will Byers went missing – as “Stranger Things Day,” a special day to share their love for the world of Stranger Things. The Olivier Award-winning play Stranger Things: The First Shadow is now also performing on Broadway.
