The series finale of Netflix's "Stranger Things" will premiere on New Year's Eve after five seasons of taking fans "Upside Down." Julianne Ferreira spoke with members of the cast in New York City about the last episodes.

"At the end of the day, what people care about are the characters. Ross and I also love monsters and action. You do try to do both," said Matt Duffer at a celebration of the Netflix megahit's final season.

The young cast who grew up on screen now stand among television’s most successful earners. “Stranger Things” is officially nearing its end, with the fifth and final season rolling out on Netflix in three parts.

Netflix's next batch of episodes come out on Christmas Day, and the finale will stream and play in theaters starting New Year's Eve.

The high school crew filled out the Stranger Things Season 1 Episode 1 cast perfectly. Natalia Dyer took on the role of Nancy Wheeler, dealing with typical teenage drama while her brother hunted monsters.

Shawshank Redempton' director Frank Darabont was happily retired—but then the Duffer brothers asked him to direct episodes in 'Stranger Things 5.'
