Stranger Things season 5has got a new behind-the-scenes look at Netflix’s Geeked Week. But before you get too excited, it reveals pretty little about the new season.
While we had been hoping for some more details from the hugely anticipated final season, what we actually got was a set visit for two superfans. Hosted by Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Finn Wolfhard, the new seven-minute-long video showcases some of the major props from the fantasy show, including Mike’s and Eleven’s letters as well as some of the creepy Upside Down set.
Sadly nothing was revealed about season 5 but we did find out a sweet Easter egg. The number eight on Lucas' basketball kit is actually an homage to the late Kobe Bryant.
However, one fan has a theory about why most of the stuff we see is from earlier seasons. “If they’re on the set production of Season 5 but showing us stuff from Season 1 2 and 3, the previous seasons,” they wrote onYouTube. “It’s either time travel, flashback scenes or a tribute to the show.” Intriguing…
Pretty much all of the show’s surviving cast (RIP Eddie Munson) are returning to Hawkins, Indiana for one final time. Noah Schnapp, Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, and Natalia Dyer are all among those back.
Vecna himself Jamie Campbell Bower is also returning, alongside Matarazzo, McLaughlin, Wolfhard, and Sadie Sink. There are some new cast members on the roster too, including The Terminator’s Linda Hamilton, as well as Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux.
