Netflix’s Emmy-winning Stranger Things comes to a close this year, and in a new featurette, the show’s cast and crew take a look back on the beloved series and tease what’s to come from Season 5.
The featurette kicks off with nostalgic remembrances of shooting the first season, from David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper, reminiscing on reading the pilot to the child actors discussing building their bond on set. But what’s really going to intrigue fans are the featurette’s sneak peeks of Stranger Things‘ fifth and final season.
This season, which creators the Duffer Brothers call “the biggest season we’ve ever had,” picks up in the fall of 1987, over a year after the end of Season 4. Hawkins is scarred by the rifts to the Upside Down that Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) opened up, and the government has placed the town under military quarantine. They’re also still searching for Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), forcing her into hiding as she and her friends prepare for their final battle against Vecna.
The Stranger Things 5 featurette hints at the epic scale of this battle, with footage of explosions, car chases, and roiling red Upside Down energy bearing down on the show’s heroes.
“[Season 5] is more of an adventure and more of a mission, which I really like,” Brown says in the featurette. “Everybody is really put into the thick of it. No one is sitting back on a walkie talkie.”
To get a glimpse of the adventure that awaits in Stranger Things 5, check out the full featurette above. And brace yourself: We have a feeling not every beloved character is going to make it out of this one alive.
