Stranger Things is like an entertainment Hydra. Just when you think it’s dead, a new project jumps in to terrify the masses. One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5 just dropped a new trailer and will be released on January 12th via Netflix at 12 am PT/3 am ET. Stranger Things may be over, but there is still plenty to learn about the heroes of Hawkins.
One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5 was created by MakeMake Productions and is directed by Martina Radwan. The project is produced by Agnus Wall, Terry Leonard, and Kent Kubena. The Duffer Brothers recently spoke to Netflix about the project and offered the following bit of information.
“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.”
Radwan also jumped in on the conversation to express their excitement for the project.
“I’m endlessly grateful to the Duffer Brothers for trusting me with a front-row seat to this incredible journey. 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.”
