A first look at Stranger Things season five has been unveiled by Netflix.
The show recently marked the halfway point of production on its final season, and the streamer has now shared a behind-the-scenes clip previewing what’s to come.
In it, we get a showcase of some of the sets, as well as voiceovers of some of the stars reflecting on their years on the show.
“So I started when I was 10,” Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) says. “I’m now turning 20 years old. It feels very weird.”

Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield) adds that they are “savouring every single moment”, while Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair) teases that the “wait will be worth it”.
“Season four was big, season five definitely feels bigger,” Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna) further declares, before creators the Duffer Brothers tease that “this is the season fans have been waiting for”.

Filming began on the final season in January this year, having been delayed due to last year’s Hollywood strikes.
Fans can expect eight episodes to wrap up the show’s story, star Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley) recently teasing that they are “making, basically, eight movies”. “The episodes are very long,” she added.

Meanwhile, last year the Duffer Brothers revealed that Will Byers will be a “big part and focus” of the final season
“We’re starting to see his coming of age, really. Which has been challenging for a number of reasons, some of which are supernatural. But you’re starting to see him come into his own,” Matt told Collider.
Elsewhere, star Joseph Quinn has addressed the possibility of returning as Eddie Munson, despite his character being killed off at the end of season four.
Asked about fan feelings that he could come back, he told ET: “I might have that feeling, too… Or maybe I don’t. Who knows? I don’t know! Who knows?”
