Now that we’ve successfully spent the holiday season binge-watching the last season of Stranger Things, audiences will have the opportunity to see how the Things magic was made with a brand new documentary (named One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5) exploring the making of the final season.
Check out the trailer for it here…
Directed by Martina Radwan and premiering on 12 January on Netflix, the film is set to give viewers an inside look at the years of effort and craft that went into the final installment of the Duffer Brothers’ generation-defining series.
“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.”
“Growing up in Durham, North Carolina, we dreamed of becoming filmmakers—but Hollywood felt impossibly far away,” added Stranger Things creators, the Duffer brothers. “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.”
One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5 will be released on Netflix on 12 January 2026
