In July, Stranger Things co-creator Ross Duffer confirmed that the final season was halfway through production by sharing another behind-the-scenes video of the cast and crew on set.
"So I started when I was 10, I'm now turning 20 years old," Eleven actor Millie Bobby Brown said in the clip. "It feels very weird."
"We're just kind of savouring every single moment," added Natalia Dyer, who plays Nancy, while Vecna actor Jamie Campbell Bower teased: "Season four was big. Season five definitely feels bigger."
