Let’s go team Stranger Things! Let’s gooo!” another fan tweeted.Fans are expecting big things from Season 5, which was close to starting production last May but was delayed due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.The show’s writers, Matt and Ross Duffer, had already completed scripts for Season 5, but, at that point, there was no sense in trying to film anything without actors, so production was put off until now.Even then, though, fans likely won’t see the new episodes until 2025, according to reports.“Terminator” co-star Linda Hamilton has joined the cast and can be seen in the photo posted on X.“I don’t know how to be a fangirl and an actress at the same time,” Hamilton said during her video announcement on Tudum, the Netflix online newsletter. “I’m gonna work on that.”Executive producer Shawn Levy described the fifth season to Total Film as “major, major, cinematic storytelling that happens to be called a TV series … [it] is as big as any of the biggest movies that we see.”The Duffer brothers told Deadline that they hope to “stick the landing” in the show’s final season.“Characters are already going to be in action, they’re already going to have a goal and a drive, and I think that’s going to carve out at least a couple hours and make this season feel really.
