Caleb McLaughlin Reveals How Lucas Will Look In Stranger Things Season 5
Taking it to Instagram,McLaughlin uploaded a set of new photos that shows his time on the sets ofStranger Thingsseason 5. One of the pictures saw the star in character as Lucas, donning the signature hi-top fade from Season 4 of the Netflix series. Meanwhile, the other images offer a glimpse of production equipment and crew members in the background. Fans didn’t waste any time and commented on the images, especially the one that showcased his look. Meanwhile, the official Instagram account ofStranger Thingsplayfully noted, “I spy the most totally tubular guy in Hawkins.” It doesn’t come as a shock that McLaughlin is sporting the same look as he did in the fourth edition. The makers and the streamer wouldn’t want to change a lot of things in the ongoing storyline so that fans could experience excitement and nostalgia at the same time.
The images come after McLaughlin shared a funny image on his official Twitter account, revealing how certain characters might look like if Stranger Things didn’t return soon enough. The actor referred to his post as a “sneak peek” of season 5 and shared an image from season 4 featuring himself as Lucas,Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield, and Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley. The photo, however, had been altered with a filter to make each actor appear much older.
Fans ofStranger Thingsare no strangers to long waits between seasons, but this time might be the longest yet. While Season 2 arrived just 15 months after the first, the gap between Seasons 2 and 3 stretched to 21 months. Season 4, however, didn’t land on Netflix until nearly 34 months after its predecessor. As of July 2024, it’s already been 31 months since Season 4, and with the announcement that the series will return in 2025, this marks the longest wait fans have endured for a new season of the beloved sci-fi show.
Despite the frequent complaints on social media about the extended gaps,Stranger Thingshas a knack for keeping its audience hooked.When Season 4 finally dropped, it was met with overwhelming success, with some fans even hailing it as one of the greatest seasons of television they’d ever seen. So, it’s no surprise that anticipation remains high about how the series will ultimately conclude.
All four seasons ofStranger Thingsare available for streaming on Netflix, while Season 5 makes its way to the streaming platform in 2025.
