Stranger Things cast return for final series

The cast of Stranger Things can be seen returning to Hawkins High School in a behind-the-scenes look at the series’ fifth and final season.

The supernatural drama, set in the 1980s in the US town of Hawkins, follows a group of friends who fight off dark forces from an alternate dimension called the upside down.

A first-look video, posted to YouTube, shows the friends returning to high school with behind-the-scenes footage including a number of paranormal-looking backdrops, which will likely be used to depict the mysterious world of the upside down.

Actors Joe Keery (Steve Harrington) and Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley), are seen on the first day of filming with a clapperboard, while other cast members walk around the set and reflect on their time in the show.

Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) says: “I started when I was 10, I’m now turning 20 years old. Feels very weird.”

Noah Schnapp (Will Byers) says filming the last series is “so exciting,” adding: “I think this is going to be the best season yet” while Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair) promises viewers that “the wait will be worth it.”

English actor Jamie Campbell Bower, who played villain Vecna in the last series, says season five “feels bigger” than series four, which saw his character kill children in a brutal manner.

Elsewhere, Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler) says he is “excited to have scenes with the original four” while Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson) calls the show “home.”

Also captured on screen are actors Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers) and David Harbour (Jim Hopper).

Stranger Things debuted in 2016 and has since sparked a nostalgia for 1980s pop culture with Kate Bush’s 1985 hit Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) soaring to number one in the UK’s single charts after it was used in the soundtrack for series four.

Season five was announced as the final season of Stranger Things, with other projects in the works including Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which has opened in London’s West End, and an untitled animated spin-off series.
