While not much can be gleaned from the Eleven and Mike photos, it's nice to see the duo reunited again after the explosive events of season 4. Their relationship was a central focus in the previous batch of episodes, and the series' final outing seems poised to further explore whether the Mike and Eleven bond can stand the test of time (and a massive incursion from the Upside Down in Hawkins).
It's been teased previously that season 5 is set to feature a time jump, but the latest images don't provide any indication of how long this time jump might be.
The images shared by Ross Duffer reveal a bit more, but, out of context, mostly just tease some new locations and callbacks. Notably, the images include a look at what appears to be the Wheeler family home basement, albeit with a bit of a makeover compared to how it looked in season 1. There's also a staircase in what could be a warehouse or industrial-type of building, though it's not yet clear what role this building will play in the new season.
In addition to an image of a bicycle on a high school running track and a Halley's Comet decal, Duffer also shares a look at Brown and Wolfhard walking through a field. The field appears similar to the one featured prominently in season 3 and the end of season 4, though it's difficult to tell considering the change in seasons. Finally, Duffer's post reveals that they've now completed 10 days of filming. Many questions remain about what is to come for the in season 5, but the new images are sure to only build excitement.
With filming currently underway, season 5 is on track to release at some point during 2025.
