It’s been years since the latest season ofStranger Thingspremiered onNetflix, and fans have been eagerly waiting to find out when they’ll be able to see their favorite characters back on the screen. The final installment of the streaming smash hit just received a major update. According toRoss Duffer, principal photography for the last season ofStranger Thingsis halfway done. The filmmaker statedin an Instagram postthat week number twenty-four of filming was the one that got the team behind the Netflix sensation across the halfway mark, meaning that production will continue for about six months more.
Considering the scale of the final season ofStranger Things, the fact that it will take about an entire calendar year for principal photography to conclude shouldn’t come as a surprise. Extensive productions aren’t common to see for streaming television, but some examples of a busy schedule have appeared in the industry in recent years.Avengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgamewere filmed back-to-back, and it also tookDisneya year to capture their explosive story. Another explanation for why it’s taken so long forStranger Thingsto come out came fromMaya Hawke, who stars as Robin in the series. The performer stated that the team is “basically making eight movies”.
Ross Duffer’s Instagram post also featured a short video whereFinn Wolfhardcan be seen celebrating how the team is getting closer to the finish line. The actor has been playing Mike Wheeler since the series premiered eight years ago. As Nancy Wheeler’s (Natalia Dyer) brother, Mike is one of the most important characters in the show, alongside his best friends. Since the gang crossed paths with Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) during a rainy day in the woods, nothing has been the same. It’s time for these characters to meet what fate has in store for them during their final adventure.
What Will the Final Season of ‘Stranger Things’ Be About?
The latest season ofStranger Thingscame with the reveal that Vecna, also known as Henry Creel (Jamie Campbell Bower), was behind every curse and monster that fell upon the small town of Hakwins. After a brutal fight against Eleven, the villain was apparently defeated. But Will (Noah Schnapp) immediately felt that something wasn’t right. Hakwins won’t be safe until Vecna is completely destroyed, but time will tell if the gang will be strong enough to beat him once again. Created byMatt and Ross Duffer,Stranger Thingshas entertained the world for almost a decade.
