One of the biggest hits on Netflix, &#039;Stranger Things&#039;, is gearing up for its upcoming fifth season, with recent updates bringing us closer.

An Iconic &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Battle Location Is Set to Be Re-Created For Season 5

The SAG-AFTRA strikes have affected the production of the likes of Ryan Renolds’
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/] Deadpool 3 and Sydney Sweeney’s
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sydney-sweeney/] Marvel debut with Madame Webb.
But they aren’t the only title giants affected by the unfulfillment of demands.
The famous show about Demogorgon and the game of D&D suffered an equal setback.
The teen sensation lead of the show, Millie Bobby Brown, grew to fame from her
debut in Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/]. And
after unpacking and filming the role of Eleven at the age of 11, she has come a
long way. The last 7 years saw the Enola Holmes actress play a pivotal role in
the franchise. Following the release and hype of Season 4, the wheels for the
next season are already in motion. 

Amidst the new character developments and casts special announcements, the
revival of the iconic battles location we saw in Season 4 pulls us a step closer
to the release. 


THE HAWKINS SCHOOL IS GETTING READY

Just a few days before, the construction for the Downtown set had only begun
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-amidst-sag-aftra-delay-things-are-moving-on-netflixs-stranger-things-season-five-set-millie-bobby-brown/].
It was being built at the Screen Gems’ studio parking lot. The empty parking lot
quickly turned into a full-fledged Hawkins set, and the wait couldn’t get more
exciting. In new updates on X, shots of the Hawkings High School buildings
surfaced. Along with the report of the recreation of the High School set, the
location manager was reported to have been spotted on the set. This school has
seen some showdowns starting Season 1 where Eleven fought a Demogorgon and to
Season 4 where the group went to prepare for their battle.

Though there haven’t been reports of the continuation of filming, the writers’
and actors’ guild strikes have kept the uncertainty on board. There are only two
possibilities: either the set is being prepped for future filming, or the
strikes might soon be coming to an end. Either way, it points to a positive
development for the fans.

These physical developments also go hand in hand with the new character and plot
development that have been making rounds. 


WILL’S PIVOTAL ROLE THROUGHOUT STRANGER THINGS

The makers of the show made a huge announcement regarding Will Byers. Not only
did they point out his central role throughout all four seasons, but also
declared him as the focus for Season 5

This couldn’t have come at a better time than now. Noah Schnapp, who plays the
character, recently embraced his sexuality in front of the world. The
exploration of his on-screen sexuality was parallelled with a bit of his
off-screen experience.



Will’s character started the Demogorgon trail in Season 1, leading up to the
harnessing of Eleven’s powers and using ingenious techniques like Morse Code to
free him. Later on, Will was seen developing feelings for his friend Mike,
exploring the intricacies of self-exploration and confusion.
