The people of Hawkins, Indiana are in for one more year of craziness, as the writers of 'Stranger Things' have confirmed that they have started working on the fifth and final season of the hit Netflix show.

Season 4 of 'Stranger Things' was released this year, and it proved to be a huge hit for Netflix, fast becoming the streaming giant's most-watched English language television show, and becoming the second most streamed show ever after 'Squid Game'.
'Stranger Things' season 4 ended on a cliffhanger, however, with Vecna being temporarily defeated, but succeeding in merging the Upside Down with Hawkins.
Expectations are that in season 5, Eleven and the gang will fight to protect the townsfolk and permanently destroy the Upside Down.
‘Stranger Things’ stars a large ensemble cast that includes Jamie Campbell Bower, Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Noah Schnapp, Winona Ryder, Joe Keery, Natalie Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Maya Hawke, Cara Buono, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman and Eduardo Franco.
The Duffer brothers executive produce the series alongside Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, Iain Paterson and Curtis Gwinn.
