Already missing Stranger Things? You won’t have to wait long to go back to the Upside Down, as Netflix has unveiled a bonus surprise for fans – not the episode imagined by Conformity Gate conspiracy theory hopefuls, but a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of Stranger Things Season 5.

One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5 will give viewers an inside look at the years of effort and craft that went into the final installment of the Duffer Brothers’ generation-defining series.

“A decade after rewiring pop culture, Stranger Things returns for its final chapter,” the synopsis reads. “One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things Season 5 is a sweeping behind-the-scenes chronicle that follows the cast, creators, and crew as they bring the final season to life – and say goodbye to the show that changed them forever.”

Martina Radwan (Girls State), who directed the film, says: “I’m endlessly grateful to the Duffer Brothers for trusting me with a front-row seat to this incredible journey. Spending a full year on set with them was a true privilege – and an absolute thrill. Being able to get close and watching them bring this beloved show to life in real time was pure joy. I only wish I could travel back in time and document Seasons 1-4.”

The Duffer Brothers said: “Growing up in Durham, North Carolina, we dreamed of becoming filmmakers — but Hollywood felt impossibly far away. Everything changed when we watched the behind-the-scenes documentaries for The Lord of the Rings — on-the-ground films that showed the real nuts and bolts of how a massive production actually gets made. We saw how stressed Peter Jackson was and thought: yep, that’s the dream.”

The film premieres on Netflix on 12th January. Here’s the trailer:
