Stranger Things Season 5
Main on End for Netflix
From the very first season, our main titles set the tone. Now, after collaborating across all five seasons of Stranger Things, we return one final time to help close the story where it all began: the end.
For the series’ final end title sequence, the Duffer Brothers wanted something that would honor the actors and characters, serving as both a farewell and a celebration. They had an initial idea that perhaps it could involve Will’s drawings, and sent over a box of props. Inside the box, we also discovered the binders and players’ D&D manuals–and from there the idea was born.
“What’s cool about these D&D manuals is there’s color images, and, also, over the years, the style of illustration changes. They brought back illustrators from the actual 1980s who drew in the manuals all the way back then.”
— Ross Duffer
what we did
We designed the final end credits as a sweeping illustrated journey through all five seasons of Stranger Things. Each image captures an iconic moment from the series, reimagined in the style of authentic 1980s Dungeons & Dragons manuals. In addition to the characters and scenes from the show, we created maps, charts, and hand-done doodles to immerse the viewer in this stylized vision of the show.
