The world may not have seemed any stranger over the past two years, but as Stranger Things nears its final trip to Hawkins, the eerie aura of the Upside Down is steadily intensifying. With production halfway complete, Millie Bobby Brown recently arrived in Atlanta to treat eager fans to an exclusive behind-the-scenes look via a thorough social media update. While Noah Schnapp followed suit with a precautionary effort about Ross Duffer, the creator could no longer stay on the sidelines.

Duffer has now joined in with his own updates, providing periodic glimpses into the show's progress over the ongoing and coming weeks.

Not long ago, Noah Schnapp provided a behind-the-curtain glimpse into the world of Stranger Things through his character, Will Byers. Now, creator Ross Duffer has joined the social media buzz with a long-awaited update on the filming for "Weeks 28-30." Duffer took to Instagram to share a carousel of images, beginning with one of Caleb McLaughlin in a varsity jacket standing in an open field, followed by a shot of Millie Bobby Brown laughing on set with a puddle dog in the foreground.

The next photo shows the Duffer brothers, Ross and Matt, in action, followed by an image of a set sign marked "Restricted Area" and a prop with a bloodied tongue. The series also includes intriguing shots of 94.5 FM WSQK, the abandoned radio station that has become an '80s time capsule and serves as an emergency bunker extending deep underground. The thread ultimately wraps up with a final clip, symbolizing the progress made in filming with another marble added to a jar.

Stranger Things may be concluding its thrilling run by 2025, but the Duffer brothers have plans to stick around a bit longer—not with the show, but with a new horror series. Netflix recently announced a series order for the upcoming show, Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, created by Haley Z. Matt and Ross Duffer will serve as executive producers alongside Hilary Leavitt under their Upside Down Pictures banner.

Haley Z is also expected to serve as an executive producer and showrunner alongside Andrea Sperling. This announcement adds to the Duffer brothers' already busy schedule, which includes the highly anticipated Stranger Things finale and the upcoming Netflix show The Boroughs, set to begin production this fall. They are also working on a live-action Death Note series, but details about Something Very Bad is Going to Happen will take some time to emerge. In the meantime, fans can fully immerse themselves in Stranger Things, as Ross Duffer is on a mission to keep them on their toes.
