04:47Things. No word yet on who the Terminator star will play, or whether that character will be good
04:53or bad. But suffice it to say, this is exciting news. Even Hamilton isn't sure how her character
05:00plays into the final story, she told the Hollywood Reporter in February.
05:05They have to be very careful with their story, she said, so I still don't know how it ends,
05:11and it takes a lot of discipline to not know where it's going to go,
05:14but that's to protect it from all of the people that want to know.
05:18On July 15, 2024, Netflix confirmed three more cast additions.

07:05the Hawkins story arc run from four to five seasons. However, they hinted that spin-offs may be
07:11possible in the future. There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of
07:16Stranger Things. New mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes, the Duffers wrote. But first,
07:25we hope that you stay with us as we finish this tale of a powerful girl named Eleven and her brave
07:30friends, of a broken police chief and a ferocious mom, of a small town called Hawkins, and an alternate
07:37dimension known only as the Upside Down. The Duffers reportedly signed a massive nine-figure deal with
07:44Netflix in 2019 ahead of Stranger Things Season 4, so it makes sense that we may see more stories from
07:52the Stranger Things universe on the streamer. Are there Stranger Things Season 5 spoilers? Though it's
07:58technically only a spoiler if you really haven't been paying attention, Noah Schnapp revealed to
08:03Variety in July 2022 that a significant portion of Stranger Things Season 5 will focus on Will
08:09Byers' struggle with being gay. And yes, the character is gay, and yes, he is in love with Mike
08:16Wheeler. It's this multifaceted trauma that goes years back, because he was taken by the Demogorgon,
08:22and then his friends. They never acknowledged him, and now he's scared to come out and doesn't know
08:28if they'll accept him, Schnapp said of his character. And then Eleven is like his sister,
08:34but he doesn't want to hurt her because if he says he likes Mike, that's gonna hurt her feelings.
08:39There's all these things running in his mind, so I kind of just have to make sure that I'm conveying
08:45the depth of all his traumas. As for Mike, Wolfhard told THR that fans can expect to see the cast
08:51reunite into a cohesive storyline after being split in Season 4. Not being around everyone all
08:57the time was definitely a bummer about filming 4, but 5 is the opposite. We're all together all the
09:03time, and a bunch of us live around the corner and across the street from each other in real life,
09:08he said. So the cast is really seeing each other a lot, and we're in a lot of the same scenes,
09:13which has been really great.
