Netflix announced Monday the premiere date of “Stranger Things” documentary, which follows the making of the final season of the Duffer brothers’ series.
“One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5,” which was directed by Martina Radwan, will drop Jan. 12.
Netflix released a trailer for the documentary with scenes from the final table read.
“Writing the last lines these characters would ever say, it was really hard to do,” Ross Duffer explains during the clip.
Matt Duffer adds, “I remember more than anything just writing ‘End Series.’ Writing those two words having the biggest impact.”
Stars Noah Schnapp and Millie Bobby Brown cry on a couch during the table read as Schnapp is comforted by Cara Buono.
“Growing up in Durham, North Carolina, we dreamed of becoming filmmakers — but Hollywood felt impossibly far away,” the Duffer brothers said in a released statement, per Variety. “Everything changed when we watched the behind-the-scenes documentaries for ‘The Lord of the Rings’ — on-the-ground films that showed the real nuts and bolts of how a massive production actually gets made. We saw how stressed Peter Jackson was and thought: yep, that’s the dream. With the decline of physical media, that kind of behind-the-scenes storytelling has largely disappeared. We wanted to bring it back. ‘One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things Season 5’ — beautifully captured and directed by Martina Radwan — is our attempt to do just that. If you love ‘Stranger Things,’ or if you’re simply curious how a major Hollywood production comes to life, this one’s for you.”
