Netflix unveiled the first look at the fifth and final season of its blockbuster sci-fi adventure series on Monday, with a behind-the-scenes video from the set that also revealed three new actors who are joining the show: Nell Fisher (“Evil Dead Rise”), Alex Breaux (“Waco: The Aftermath”) and newcomer Jake Connelly. There’s a shot of the core friend group — Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gates Matarazzo), Lucas (McLaughlin) and Will (Noah Schnapp) — huddled together around a radio, followed by a shot of that foursome joined by Joyce (Winona Ryder), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Steve (Joe Keery) gathered around an overhead projector. Jamie Campbell Bower — who plays Vecna, aka Henry Creel, the central villain of the series — says that “Season 4 was big” but “Season 5 definitely feels bigger.” And Linda Hamilton (“The Terminator,” “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”) — the latest 1980s cinema icon to join the cast — appears briefly, saying in voiceover, “I love this show so much — I really am a fan.”
