The long-awaited Season 5 of Stranger Things has hit the halfway mark of filming. As a result, Netflix has released a behind-the-scenes video, revealing new cast members joining the final season.
In Season 4, Vecna emerged as the ultimate villain, a powerful threat to Hawkins. The season ends in an apocalyptic atmosphere and unveils a glimpse of Vecna's invasion of the human world.
The fate of Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink), Will's (Noah Schnapp) connection to Vecna and the pivotal role of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) also hint at a tragic endgame for characters in Season 5.
The behind-the-scenes video offers a sneak peek of what's to come and welcomes three new cast members, Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly and Alex Breaux, who will join the thrilling adventure.
Fisher is a 12-year-old British-New Zealander actress who plays Holly Wheeler -- the younger sister of Mike and Nancy, and the youngest child of Karen and Ted Wheeler -- who was previously portrayed in the Netflix series by twin sisters Anniston and Tinsley Price. Connelly is playing Derek, a young overweight boy who is an outsider with no friends who is rude to adults and a bully to those his own age. Breaux is playing an unknown unannounced character.
The behind-the-scenes video of Stranger Things Season 5 is now available on YouTube.
