Stranger Things Get A Lot More Clearer With The Official Trailer For One Last Adventure: The Making Of Stranger Things 5

One Last Adventure: The Making Of Stranger Things 5 is coming soon to Netflix. Watch the trailer and get the details here.

Sad that Stranger Things has come to an end? Distressed at the ending to the series? Do you think that Eleven…we won’t go there yet, shall we? It wouldn’t be fair to spoil things for those who haven’t yet watched the series finale. But don’t be too downhearted, it isn’t quite over…yet. There’s one last adventure to be had, just not the one you would expect. Netflix has announced One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5, a documentary that will give an inside look at the years of effort and craft that went into the final instalment of the Duffer Brothers’ generation-defining series. The documentary will be released on January 12th. To provide you with a taste of what to expect, watch the newly released trailer below.

THE PREMISE

A decade after rewiring pop culture, Stranger Things returns for its final chapter. One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things Season 5 is a sweeping behind-the-scenes chronicle that follows the cast, creators, and crew as they bring the final season to life—and say goodbye to the show that changed them forever. Directed by Martina Radwan, One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5 is a MakeMake production premiering on 12th January, only on Netflix.

THE DUFFER BROTHERS

“Growing up in Durham, North Carolina, we dreamed of becoming filmmakers—but Hollywood felt impossibly far away. Everything changed when we watched the behind-the-scenes documentaries for The Lord of the Rings— on-the-ground films that showed the real nuts and bolts of how a massive production actually gets made. We saw how stressed Peter Jackson was and thought: yep, that’s the dream. With the decline of physical media, that kind of behind-the-scenes storytelling has largely disappeared. We wanted to bring it back. One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things Season 5—beautifully captured and directed by Martina Radwan—is our attempt to do just that. If you love Stranger Things, or if you’re simply curious how a major Hollywood production comes to life, this one’s for you.” – The Duffer Brothers (Creators of Stranger Things)

MARTINA RADWAN

“I’m endlessly grateful to the Duffer Brothers for trusting me with a front-row seat to this incredible journey,” said Radwan. “Spending a full year on set with them was a true privilege—and an absolute thrill. Being able to get close and watching them bring this beloved show to life in real time, was pure joy. I only wish I could travel back in time and document Seasons 1 through 4. From the cast to their long-time collaborators, everyone welcomed me with remarkable generosity, openly sharing their personal and collective experiences from a decade of creative filmmaking. The Duffers always push boundaries and inspire everyone to be better, including myself. Their process and the show represents everything I love about filmmaking.” – Martina Radwan (Director, One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5)

THE FINAL SERIES

The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
