As production for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things continues, the show’s official X (formerly Twitter) page has unveiled a new set image taken by series co-creator Ross Duffer. The newly-shared image sees Natalia Dyer’s Nancy Wheeler and Charlie Heaton’s Jonathan Byers in the backseat of Steve Harrington’s (played by Joe Keery) car, seemingly running away from a threat.
Production on the final season started earlier this year. Season 5 filming was supposed to begin last year, but it was delayed by more than seven months due to WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. While Netflix has yet to announce the release date for the upcoming season, which is not expected to arrive any time soon considering it’s still in production, the original cast members are confirmed to be returning to Hawkins to mark the end of the Upside Down saga.

Who else is returning for Stranger Things’ final season?
In addition to Dyer, Heaton, and Keery, most familiar faces will also return for Season 5, including Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield, Priah Ferguson as Erica Sinclair, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, and Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley.
In a previous interview with The Guardian, series co-creator Matt Duffer hinted that Season 5 would be the “biggest” season yet for the horror sci-fi series, comparing it to the first season but “on steroids.”
“It’s the biggest it’s ever been in terms of scale, but it has been really fun, because everyone’s back together in Hawkins: the boys and Eleven interacting more in line with how it was in season one. And, yes, there may be spin-offs, but the story of Eleven and Dustin and Lucas and Hopper, their stories are done here,” Duffer told The Guardian.
All four seasons of Stranger Things are available to stream on Netflix.
