Today, Netflix announced that production has officially begun on Stranger Things long-awaited fifth and final season. Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things debuted in July 2016 and quickly became one of the most popular Netflix shows ever, with its fourth season alone amassing over 140.7 million views globally.
A love letter to the ’80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a thrilling drama set in the seemingly ordinary Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested, and lives will be altered as what they discover changes Hawkins — and possibly the world—forever.
