The Duffer Brothers' Stranger Things is coming to a close with Season 5, and it's been a long wait. But Netflix has satiated fans with a neat behind-the-scenes look on set, where we'll find the gang in Hawkins after everything happened.

You'll wander through the set and meet stars Millie Bobby Brown, Sadie Sink (Max seems to be OK!), Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Winona Ryder, Caleb McLaughlin, Finn Wolfhard, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Gaten Matarazzo, Priah Ferguson, Jamie Campbell Bower, and the rest of the Hawkins crew. Check out the enormous amount of bikes and walkie talkies in the props department. And you'll see some of the visual effects and set decorators adding red goo to what looks like Vecna-style tentacles.

You'll also spy legendary addition to the cast Linda Hamilton, a sweet moment involving the original four (Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will), and a whole lot of impressive stunts.

Stranger Things Season 5 officially went into production in January 2024, so we've still got a while to wait for the season. Meanwhile, if you're in London, check out the Stranger Things prequel play, The First Shadow.
