“Yesss great to see it entering production it’s been so long. Welcome back to the cast,” one fan posted on X/Twitter in response to the news.

“It has just begun???????????????????? I was looking forward to a trailer. Everything takes too long nowadays,” another weighed in. “It’s crazy how it’s ending, I remember binging the first season in one day,” a third fan commented.

Season 5 was announced as the final season of Stranger Things, with additional projects in the universe in the works, including Stranger Things: The First Shadow live on stage in London’s West End along with an untitled animated spinoff series.
