The photo was entirely in black and white bar the red neon "5" sign on the wall, while some members of the cast clutched season five scripts. The caption read: "Take it all in, nerds. The fifth and final season of Stranger Things is officially in production."

Season five will feature a huge new name, with Terminator star Linda Hamilton joining the Netflix show. However, she has stated that she won't be watching the series as she doesn't like to watch herself in any of her projects.

“When you really buy into something, you don’t see yourself in it," she said. "So I think in a way, it kind of ruined the show for me. I never watch [a project], once I’m in something. It would just completely take me out of the reality of it to see myself in there. So I won’t be watching [season 5].”

Stranger Things seasons 1-4 are now streaming worldwide on Netflix.
