Stranger Things Season 5 is now one step closer to its release, with recent confirmation from Netflix and the Duffer Brothers that production on the highly anticipated final season has officially concluded.
After nearly a year of filming, co-creator Ross Duffer expressed his excitement over the milestone through a series of behind-the-scenes photos. In his reflections, Duffer highlighted the emotional journey shared by the cast and crew, emphasizing that the series has been a significant part of their lives over the past decade.
“We’ve been telling this story for nearly a decade now,” said Duffer. “Many of our cast members joined us as children, and for them, it was more than just a show; it was a defining part of their childhood. They have grown up before our eyes and have become family.”
Duffer acknowledged not only the cast but also the crew, many of whom have been integral to the series since the beginning. Their unwavering dedication and passion have been crucial to the production, and he expressed pride in what they have accomplished together. “Everyone involved was committed to delivering a satisfying conclusion to this story. We can’t wait to share it with you all next year,” he added.
