Fans get a sneak peek at the highly-anticipated fifth season of Stranger Things as Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley) and Joe Keery (Steve Harrington) share a behind-the-scenes look at "day one" of filming.

Meanwhile, Millie Bobby Brown, who has grown up playing the iconic role of Eleven, takes a moment to reflect on her journey, saying, "I started when I was 10, I'm now turning 20 years old. Feels very weird."

“We’re just kind of savouring every single moment,” Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield) adds of it being the show’s final season.

The cast of the show shares their excitement and nostalgia as they dive back into filming the fifth and final season. Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin Henderson, fondly refers to the show as "home" and says, "You just remember why you're doing it and how much fun you have."

Meanwhile, Noah Schnapp, who portrays Will Byers, hints at what's to come, saying, "It's just so exciting, I think this is going to be the best season yet."

The newly released teaser also offers a sneak peek at new cast members Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux, as well as a glimpse of Linda Hamilton, who joined the cast in 2023.

Hamilton expresses her enthusiasm for the show, saying, "I love this show so much — I really am a fan."
