The fifth and last season of the popular Netflix science fiction series STRANGER THINGS has started, and fans are waiting for what should become an exciting finale. Finally, after many expectations, the shooting of STRANGER THINGS 5 began on January 8, 2024, due to some halt in the stats because of the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. Winona Ryder, the talented actress that plays the role of Joyce Byers has taken to social media to give fans glimpse into the emotions of the shooting process of the new season.
Although she has not yet released a major single of her own, she recently starred in a segment on E! In an interview with news while discussing her new movie Beetlejuice 2, Ryder briefly but, delighted the fans about how the final season is being produced. Because we are still shooting it, it is still happening up to the end of the year, she asserted. Speaking to her time with the series, Ryder said that she is ‘touched’ to let go of the show and the character she was first introduced to back in 2016.
Ryder also talked about how it is strange for the show to be in its tenth year, and how quickly STRANGER THINGS has grown into an international phenomenon, just as she did with Beetlejuice. “I could never imagine it would. .. it’s sort of like Beetlejuice. None of us anticipated it becoming what it did,” she said.
The cast of the show has become popular over the four seasons of the show, already familiar to viewers, although the show is still considered to be cult, Millie Bobby Brown or Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike, Noah Schnapp as Will. Since the show is so popular, the cast’s experience has been as heartwarming as the viewers,’ so the final season makes everyone cry even more.
The young actress Maya Hawke, who came to the show in the third season as Robin Buckley, also had some interesting things to say about the coming episodes of the program during her podcast show Podcrushed. Hawke, who has big expectations from the season said, that the season would be like ‘it’s kind of like eight movies’ and each episode was noticeably lengthy. She said that Matt and Ross Duffer are very keen on giving a fine ending to the series and that they understand the responsibility as producers who believers have placed their trust in since the first season.
While filming and production are still going on in Georgia, the cast and crew are keen on giving a fitting end to the Upside Down story. Speaking of the new season, the Duffer brothers have revealed that STRANGER THINGS 5 will air with episodes that are shorter in comparison to season 4, but with a clear idea of tying up major story arcs. But they said that the finale will retain the cinematic feel that has been put across by the hitherto releases.
Ryder’s input and the published reports from the main cast suggest that this season is full of nostalgia, enthusiasm, and tearful farewells. There is also a fair share of dramatic tension as fans wonder about the well-being of the characters who are still alive but not seen since the last season such as the helpless little Max played by Sadie Sink, or the future of Will with Vecna which is a crucial part of the ongoing series.
Although this year’s STRANGER THINGS might be a long way away, both the cast and the writers have reassured the audience that the wait will pay off. Exactly a decade ago Ryder shared memories that opened and shaped futures, and the proposed shows will for sure complete stories worth recollecting for years.
