The wait for the final chapter in the globally beloved sci-fi horror series Stranger Things is finally coming to a close. Ever since the cliffhanger ending of season four, fans have been sitting with bated breath for the fifth and final season. Now, this fanbase is sent into a frenzy once again after a fresh update from the film's cast member Brett Gelman, playing eccentric conspiracy theorist Murray Bauman.

Brett Gelman recently had an update on Stranger Things season 5 in an interview with Screen Rant while discussing his latest work in the Apple TV+ show Lady in the Lake. There the actor, who portrayed the quirky conspiracy theorist Murray, added a positive update without a single spoiler:.

"Filming is going great. I think you'll learn in the same way that everybody's learned in the past, you'll probably get some teasers, a couple teasers, and then, the big way you'll find out what's going to happen is the show. It's, obviously, the most secretive thing I've ever worked on, but I think the fans — you included — will be very happy with season five."

He explained the tightrope walk he does with fans who are curious for details but like to be surprised. Most fans, he said, understand where he is coming from and respect the secrecy as needed. In a nutshell, he says, "Most fans are curious, but they also appreciate the element of surprise." He acknowledges that it is tough to manage this balance and suggests that it probably is going to be some time before the information is revealed.

The dual strike in Hollywood affected the production and that was why filming could not start until January 2024. Now that everything is going well, we can anticipate that production will be completed by December 2024 or January 2025 and we will get the final product in 2025.

Introduced in the second season, Murray Bauman quickly became a fan favorite. He proved helpful as Hawkins' eccentric conspiracy theorist by pinpointing the presence of a Russian spy in the town. It has evolved through the seasons and proved absolutely instrumental in key moments, such as Hopper's rescue in season 4. While nothing specifically regarding the Murray character arc is disclosed for the upcoming season, one thing is for sure: his character will play a big role.

As Stranger Things sets its feet on the ground toward a final wrap-up, millions of fans worldwide are sitting tight with bated breath for long-awaited answers to lingering questions and the fates of their favorite characters. Brett Gelman brings in an update, setting a hopeful forecast in front of fans that this wait will be completely worth it. It is a tightrope walk between secrecy and anticipation but equally says a lot about the show's long-term appeal and a showrunner's commitment to a satisfying closure.
