Get a look behind the scenes of the making of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things as they hit the halfway mark of filming and welcome Nell Fisher, Jake Murphy Connelly and Alex Breaux to the cast.

The fall of 1987. Hawkins, Indiana, is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: to find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s (Noah Schnapp) disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
