Netflix just announced the pending release of a Stranger Things documentary, hot on the heels of the series finale. It premieres on January 12. One Last Adventure focuses on the making of season five, so it’s not a full series retrospective. This seems similar to what Disney+ does a few weeks after a popular Star Wars or Marvel show drops.
Still, it’s a documentary about the very last season of the show, so there’s likely to be some tearful goodbyes and all of that jazz. As a matter of fact, the trailer shows plenty of hugs along with sit-down interviews.
It’ll shine a light on how some of the stunts and set pieces came together, which is cool. Stranger Things, after all, is primarily a show about spectacle and season five had plenty to spare. The Duffer Brothers will also discuss how they came to write some of those final character arcs (no spoilers here.)
If you’re grieving the loss of Steve Harrington, Delightful Derrick, Eleven and the rest, this should make for a nice watch. It’s worth noting that while Stranger Things has doled out its last needle drop, the franchise itself is still going.
The animated spinoff Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 premieres later this year. There’s also a live-action spinoff coming at some point. This will likely be another story in the same universe.
