As Stranger Things enters its final stretch, the portal to ’80s Hawkins will soon close for good. However, before the epic showdown in the stranger world, the Upside Down team and the creators are working diligently to bring the story to a satisfying conclusion. Despite some minor delays, production for season 5 is progressing well. With regular behind-the-scenes updates from the close-knit team, the latest news from Priah Ferguson is just what fans have been eager to hear.

While reaching the halfway point in production already had fans on edge, this latest update heightens the anticipation even further as Stranger Things prepares to take viewers on one final ride through the time capsule.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE about Bath & Body Works’ new collection inspired by the hit Netflix show, Priah Ferguson discussed the end of Stranger Things as the series approaches its fifth and final season. A month after revealing that production was halfway complete, the 17-year-old actress reported that “filming’s going great.” Reflecting on the hype surrounding the finale, Ferguson mentioned that the team has been working tirelessly to ensure they wrap up the final season in an epic fashion.

Ferguson, however, confessed that she has to keep most details about the show under wraps and cannot reveal more than what she has already shared, despite Ross Duffer's previous update mentioning filming for “weeks 28-30.” Additionally, the actress shared that working with her co-stars again has been a particularly “bittersweet” experience, noting that this could be the last time they work together or see each other, adding to the significance of their involvement in such a major show like Stranger Things.

Although the memories may be the most significant takeaway for her co-stars, Ferguson is eager to bring something else home once the series concludes.

As a cast member of one of Netflix's most successful shows from the beginning, Priah Ferguson shares the nostalgia of Stranger Things' final season. However, when it comes to taking something from the show, she has a particular idea beyond just the friendships and memories she has made. “I’d love to take some of Erica’s Barbie dolls or some of her wardrobe,” Ferguson told PEOPLE, noting their 1980s vibe.

Regarding how she hopes fans will remember her character, Ferguson expressed a desire for her role to be seen as one that has evolved. She wants viewers to notice the transformation from her character’s initial portrayal as rude or grumpy to its development into something more valuable and meaningful. Whether she succeeds in this goal will be determined in time, but for now, the fact that fans recognize her for her role in Stranger Things is a significant endorsement in itself.
