‘One Last Ride’: Netflix Launches Huge Goodbye for Final ‘Stranger Things’ Season | APT - video Dailymotion

APT

Netflix is giving Stranger Things the kind of send-off usually reserved for blockbuster films.   Ahead of the show’s fifth and final season, thousands of fans joined a “One Last Ride” bike event in Los Angeles — a nostalgic nod to the iconic bikes from Hawkins.  The farewell rollout also includes the biggest merchandising push in Netflix history: from Demogorgon Crunch cereal and ‘80s-style Gatorade to Care Bears crossovers, Eggo products, Casio watches, Crocs, and more. Global activations include a Hawkins Christmas Market in Paris, immersive fan experiences, and dedicated Stranger Things zones in Netflix Houses worldwide.  Producers and cast teased the final season — with staggered episode releases across Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve — plus future projects like an animated series and a live-action spinoff set in the Stranger Things universe. Fans who grew up with the series say this moment feels like the end of an era.   #StrangerThings #Netflix #StrangerThings5 #OneLastRide #Hawkins #80sNostalgia

00:00We stay true to ourselves.

00:27Stay true to our friends.

00:52I like the show just because I grew up just like my dad always playing like 80s music

00:59and just growing up in that environment.

01:00So really having a TV show centered on that, like it's just really like fun for me to have.

01:06I'm 21.

01:07So the season started when I was about sixth grade.

01:09So I was the same age as the characters when it started.

01:12So it's definitely been a huge part of my life.

01:14I'm hoping that it's not final, but I feel like there might be like a little cliffhanger,

01:21but I feel like Stranger Things is coming to its end, and I'm excited for it to have its final straw.

01:28I'm just seeing how everything wraps up.

01:30Like, is it actually going to wrap up?

01:32Are we going to get left with like a little bit of a cliffhanger?

01:34It's like this is the end, or is it?

01:36I know that's a popular thing nowadays.

02:06Sean, go straight up.

02:30Sean, go straight up.

02:32I mean, I suppose anything's possible,

02:39and I'm not allowed to talk about any of those possibilities quite yet.

02:43But it's a rich world.

02:45It's a rich tapestry of mythology.

02:47But I'll say this.

02:49We're never going to repeat ourselves.

02:51The lack of complacency that the brothers and I share,

02:54the desire to push ourselves and give audiences new experiences, that's bedrock.

03:01Well, there's an animated show.

03:13That'll sort of be the first thing out of the gate.

03:16There'll be more information about that soon.

03:17But that one is very, very cool.

03:20Because I remember, you know, when we were kids,

03:23we loved Ghostbusters, but we loved the real Ghostbusters as well.

03:27And so it's fun to do that.

03:29And also, the kids, we can bring them back in time.

03:32You know, it takes place, you know, after season two.

03:36So it's sort of, it's fun to sort of revisit that time period and that age with the kids.

03:40Right here.

03:41Right here, guys.

03:42Rock and Matt right here, guys.

03:43Yeah.

03:44Rock and Matt right here.

03:46Gentlemen on the left.

03:48Left side.

03:49Left side.

03:50And then, gentlemen, one more left.

03:52The live action spinoff is something, it's early, but we've been working on it with a

03:58very amazing group of people that we can't talk about yet, but soon.

04:03And again, it's not a continuation of the story of Hawkins or these characters,

04:08but it's still in the universe of Stranger Things.

04:10It still connects, but it's very much its own thing with its new characters,

04:14a new mythology, and I don't know.

04:17It's an idea we've had for many years, and we're just, once we started to work on it

04:22this year, we just got so excited.

04:25So that's sort of, those are the next two things coming up.

04:29I'm pretty excited.

04:57I mean, I didn't really know too much about it, but anything here in your things,

05:01I'm looking forward to.

05:04I'm a person who's not really excited about that, just because, honestly,

05:08sometimes things are just better left off as is.

05:11Like, you know, fan-made stuff, go for it.

05:13They pour their love into it, you know.

05:16They develop it a lot, but other than that, like, animation, comics, and I don't know.

05:21I get a little fishy about that.

05:22William, you are going to help me.

05:42One last time.

05:51You are going to help me.
