"Stranger Things" Season 5 Commences Filming Today! Ultimate Showdown Unfolding Soon

According to numerous Atlanta media reports, the highly anticipated final season of "Stranger Things" kicked off filming locally today, with stars like Joe Keery and Natalia Dye spotted on set, igniting the flames of fan anticipation.

Previously, showrunners Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer revealed that the scale of the final season would surpass that of the first season. The primary focus this year will be Hawkins, in contrast to the previous seasons that had storylines scattered across different locations.

Adding to the excitement, the final season welcomes the legendary Linda Hamilton, known for her role as Sarah Connor in the "Terminator" series. Set in the '90s, just like "Stranger Things," Linda rose to fame in 1991's "Terminator 2," creating a classic screen image that perfectly aligns with the series' atmosphere. With the fourth season's conclusion setting the stage for a major showdown, Hawkins eagerly needs a tough female star like Linda to bolster its strength.

Originally scheduled for filming in June 2023, the shoot was delayed by seven months due to strikes, pushing the expected air date from late 2024 to 2025. Brace yourselves for this epic final chapter, promising an unprecedented visual and auditory feast for fans.
