<p>A teaser shared in November 2024 revealed the titles for all eight episodes of season 5, ending with the series finale titled "The Rightside Up." This brings the show full circle, as the season 1 finale was titled "The Upside Down."</p>
<p>"In the fall of 1987, one last adventure begins," read on-screen text in the teaser, revealing a time jump for the show after the previous season was set in the spring of 1986.</p>
<p>In January 2024, Netflix announced that production had begun on Stranger Things season 5, sharing a black-and-white photo of the cast. Co-creator Ross Duffer — one-half of the Duffer Brothers alongside Matt Duffer — then confirmed in December of that year that production had wrapped.</p>
<p>The cast has been outspoken about how difficult it's been to say goodbye to the show after five seasons, and Hawke told PEOPLE in June 2024 that filming season 5 had been "heartbreaking" for her.</p>
<p>"I mean, it's the end of a really long journey. Longer for some of my castmates, even, than me. It's really sentimental," she said. "We shoot for a long time, so it's reinvigorating [to bring] the joy and finding it everyday and making it new. It's a really fun thing to do."</p>
