Good news! The 'Stranger Things' mania is expected to return soon.
On Tuesday night, the writers of the widely-popular Netflix series took to Twitter to subtly announce that they had started working on the fifth and final season.
The post on the micro-blogging site showed a whiteboard with 'Stranger Things 5' written on it. The caption read, "Day 1."
The development comes almost a month after the streaming platform released the second volume of the fourth season of the sci-fi drama series. The first part of season four dropped on May 27.
The Volume 2 of Season 4 generated a record 1.3 billion hours viewership, making it the biggest season of English TV ever, on Netflix.
Set in the 1980s, the series is based in the fictional town of Hawkins in Indiana, US, where a secret government lab accidentally opens a door to another dimension, referred to as the 'upside down'. An alien entity from the parallel dimension is trying to enter this universe and wreak havoc.
The show stars Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery and Maya Hawke in pivotal roles.
Produced by Monkey Massacre Productions & 21 Laps Entertainment, the Duffer Brothers are also serving as executive producers alongside Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, Iain Paterson and Curtis Gwinn.
