As Stranger Things‘s highly anticipated fifth season approaches its thrilling conclusion, fans eagerly await any new details about the show. According to Screenrant, a recent behind-the-scenes video revealed the amount of work put into each scene. The video also showcased new faces to the franchise, such as Nell Fisher (Evil Dead Rise) as Molly Wheeler and Jake Conelly (Between the Silence) in an undisclosed role. Netflix has stated that Molly is not only older but is potentially being used as a pawn in Vecna’s scheme and personal vendetta against Eleven. Another confirmed addition in the upcoming season is Linda Hamilton (The Terminator, Beauty and the Beast), whose role is undisclosed.

The season will most likely pick up where the previous one ended, where The Upside Down started to merge with Hawkins, and the group is just barely recovering and preparing for their battle with Vecna, played by Jamie Campbell Bower (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones).

Familiar faces returning to reprise their roles will be Finn Wolfhard (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) as Mike, Millie Bobby Brown (Damsel) as Eleven, Noah Schnapp (Hubie Halloween) as Will, Gaten Matarazzo (My Father’s Dragon) as Dustin and Caleb McLaughlin (The Boys Presents: Diabolical) as Lucas. According to Screenrant, the cast and crew in the video stated how great the experience of being a part of the renowned series was, and the set felt like home.

According to Screenrant, Netflix has made it a tradition to expand its cast list for every season. While waiting on the release date of the approaching fifth and final season, fans can rewatch the previous seasons on Netflix to refresh their memories. This season will surely be filled with intense action sequences, mystery, and further development of each character. The introduction of new cast members adds a hint of anticipation for the final season.
