Filmmaker Shawn Levy on Friday dropped a series of behind-the-scenes pictures of Maya Hawke, Finn Wolfhard, David Harbour and Caleb McLaughlin from the sets of the fifth and final season of Netflix show Stranger Things.
“Back in Hawkins, running up that hill again,” the 56-year-old director wrote alongside the pictures on Instagram.
The first picture shows Maya Hawke and Finn Wolfhard, who play Mike Wheeler and Robin Buckley, respectively, engrossed in conversation. While Hawke sports a black leather blazer over a white t-shirt and jeans, Wolfhard wears a blue sweater and brown pants.
David Harbour, who plays the cop Jim Hopper in the series, features in a monochrome picture with his back profile. Levy also appears in the photo. Another one shows a shadow profile of Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas Sinclair in the show. Levy also gave a glimpse of the eerie atmosphere of Hawkins at night with a view of tall trees, creepers and a lit-up building.
Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly and Alex Breaux are set to join the cast in Stranger Things Season 5. The other returning cast members include Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, Natalie Dyer and Joe Keery.
Ross Duffer, co-showrunner of Stranger Things alongside Matt Duffer, has been sharing BTS pictures of Stranger Things Season 5 on his Instagram handle. On August 15, he dropped a set of pictures featuring Caleb McLaughlin, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo and offered glimpses of a radio station.
In November last year, the makers teased the first scene of the upcoming season from the script. “Darkness. The sound of cold wind. Groaning trees. And… A child’s voice. Singing a familiar song,” the script reads.
The writers of the show started working on Season 5 on August 2, 2022, almost a month after Season 4, Volume 2 premiered on Netflix. The fifth season of Stranger Things is currently under production.
