Spoiler alert: Filming on Stranger Things‘ fifth and final season is expected to wrap at the end of the year, and the Upside Down is slated to return in 2025.
Netflix dropped a teaser last week to give superfans a behind-the-scenes look at the record-breaking horror series‘ latest cast and sets. Maya Hawke, who plays Robin Buckley, recently told Podcrushed that the final season’s eight episodes will be “very long” and will feel like “eight movies.”
Fans can currently get their fix of the show IRL in London’s West End, where the original prequel play, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, is currently onstage at the Pheonix Theatre through 2025. The live production is set in 1959 when the Creel family moves to Hawkins, Indiana. Per Netflix’s Tudum blog, the live production “serves as an origin story for the TV series … tying together then, now and the future of Hawkins.”
