Where was 'Stranger Things' Season 5 filmed?

According to Netflix Junkie, the crew went to the state of Georgia in order to capture the final moments of magic for Stranger Things. Atlanta was one of the primary filming locations for this installment of the story. The city has become a profitable alternative to Hollywood.

Other Georgia locations from the Atlanta area that will be seen in the fifth season of Stranger Things include Bellwood Quarry, Patrick Henry High School, and Stone Mountain Park.

The main characters need classic Hawkins locations to move around. Taking into account the age of Eleven and her friends, and what has been seen in previous seasons, viewers can expect high schools, forests, and a variety of ancient houses in the new episodes of the series.

Due to the secrecy of the Stranger Things production, there's no way to tell what is going to happen to the main characters in the aforementioned locations.

Fans can visit some of the filming locations after attempting to spot them in the show itself. However, true followers of the show might want to hurry. Some of the sets used in previous seasons of Stranger Things have either been demolished or turned into Airbnbs.

Who will die in 'Stranger Things 5'?

The last installment of Stranger Things will attempt to shock audiences with twists and turns, bringing the engaging story to a close. As seen in the other seasons of the show, the Netflix production likes to raise the stakes by killing off characters loved by the audience.

Anyone could die in the final episodes of Stranger Things. However, there are some characters that could be safer than others thanks to their unique journeys.

Eleven herself is unlikely to die. As the final line of defense against the powerful Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bowers), the young girl with powers needs to be healthy in order to take down the villain of the story.

Jim Hopper (David Harbour) is very proud to be Eleven's adoptive father. The chief of police has been "killed off" in the show before, making it unlikely for Netflix to put viewers through the same emotional process again.

That leaves Vecna with the rest of the main group: Will (Noah Schnapp), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo). The disappearance of Will triggered the whole premise of Stranger Things. At the same time, Lucas would do anything to protect Max (Sadie Sink).

Every main character has something to lose. It's time for audiences to tune in if they want to find out who will survive Vecna's last attack against Hawkins.
