Caleb McLaughlin opens up about his experience of growing up with Stranger Things

Caleb McLaughlin has been a part of the Netflix show ever since the beginning of the celebrated Netflix show. He was just thirteen years old at the time of his first joining the show. In a Collider interview with Christina Radish from May 2023, McLaughlin opened up extensively about his experience of growing up with the long-running show. He revealed:

"I’m looking forward to just, of course, seeing the cast again and getting back together. I grew up on the show, and when I see them, I feel like I’m my 13-year-old self again, having fun on set, being naive, and just living in this fun world. And then, the thing that I’m dreading is that this will be the last one. Stranger Things has been a big part of my life. Even if I hated being on the show, I would miss it because I was such a kid, when I first came onto the show, and I grew up on the show through my adolescent years. I’m an adult now. I’m 21. So, it was a big part of my life. I grew up on the show, so it’s gonna be sad when it’s all over."

What's the latest buzz around Stranger Things season 5?

Netflix confirmed on December 20, 2024, that production on season five had finally ended. The streaming platform giant commemorated the completion of filming the final season by sharing ten never-before-seen behind-the-scenes images of the actors and staff on its site.

Filming for the Netflix show's fifth season was originally supposed to start in May 2023. However, in the first week of May that year, the Writers Guild of America went on strike. Only a few weeks later, the Screen Actors Guild went on strike as well, suspending production on both ends for more than a hundred and forty days.

Finn Wolfhard, who plays the character of Mike Wheeler, revealed to People Magazine in October of last year:

"We're almost done shooting. It's going great, and it has been unbelievable. It's been very special. I mean, being able to just be with everyone knowing it is the last season has been really great, but it's pretty surreal.”

All the previous seasons of Stranger Things are available on Netflix.
