Netflix confirmed that the final season of “Stranger Things” has begun production after a prolonged hiatus due to last year’s strikes in the industry. Finally, the fate of Hawkins, Indiana, and its beloved characters will come to a highly anticipated final season, sure to be filled with strange twists and supernatural questions.
Our editors at Morning Carpool expect a whirlwind of emotions and a crescendo of weird adventures that defy reality and don’t quite make sense to the viewer, so brace yourself for an unforgettable season that promises to leave an indelible mark on the saga of the Upside Down.

The delays in season 5, triggered by actions from the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, have finally been resolved, allowing the popular series to resume its course. Enthusiasm is high as the show promises to deliver a conclusive battle against the formidable ‘Vecna.’
Netflix celebrated the commencement of production by sharing an image featuring the entire cast and crew, visibly delighted to reconvene. The young actors, noticeably more mature, are preparing to address unresolved storylines, leading up to what promises to be an epic series finale. The conclusion of Season 4, delivered in two gripping segments, left viewers anxious about the fate of the cast. These concerns will hopefully be addressed in the show’s final season with a captivating conclusion.
The upcoming season of “Stranger Things” is poised to intensify before offering resolutions. Viewers last witnessed Hawkins in a state of upheaval, seemingly caused by the influence of the Upside Down, as pivotal characters Hopper and Joyce joined the younger cast members in a dramatic finale. Executive producer Shawn Levy has hinted at a deeply emotional journey for the audience. The season is expected to hit the ground running, foregoing gradual narrative developments in favor of immediate action, a sentiment echoed by the Duffer Brothers with the reveal of the first episode’s title: “Chapter One: The Crawl.”
Returning cast members include Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas, Natalia Dyer as Nancy, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan, Winona Ryder as Joyce, David Harbour as Jim, Sadie Sink as Max, and Maya Hawke as Robin. Additionally, the series will welcome Linda Hamilton, renowned for her role in “Terminator,” adding a thrilling new dynamic to the show’s final chapter.
