What started off nearly a decade back, is currently filming its final season and to say that the fandom as well as the cast are yet to comprehend this would be a criminal understatement.

Fighting odds ranging from SAG AFTRA strikes, criticism over the grown cast, and even threats, Stranger Things Season 5 had only recently managed to get the show back on the road. On July 15, Ross Duffer shared a clip across his social media platforms, commemorating the halfway point of the final season's production for the show. While David Harbour did not feature in the clips, Stranger Things Updates on X, posted that the actor was "Halfway happy."

Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that Harbour has deemed Stranger Things an "inexhaustible mess."
