With agreements in place and stalled productions pushing forward with a much-desired pace following months of uncertainty within the entertainment industry, the fifth and final season to Stranger Things is one of many high-profile shows getting back on track.

Stranger Things stars Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, Maya Hawke, and Charlie Heaton. The first four seasons of Stranger Things are available to stream on Netflix in the UK.
