The second part of the fourth season of Stranger Things has been available in the Netflix library for a little over 24 hours . The finale of the latest installment of the series aroused mixed feelings in the viewers. Nevertheless, the lion’s share of them are already waiting for the debut of season five. In this regard, we will take a look at all the latest information regarding the hit series.
The fourth season of Stranger Things is behind us
In connection with the subject of this article, at the very beginning I would like to loyally point out that it will include SPOILERS for the fourth season of Stranger Things. Therefore, if you have not watched the latest two episodes of the series or are in the process of watching them, I encourage you to come back to this place right after the screening.
Okay, if only people who got acquainted with the course of events in the latest season of Stranger Things are left with us , it’s time for a few words of summary. First of all, it’s important to start with the fact that Ross and Matt Duffer let us know like never before that a new installment of the series will be created.
The ninth episode of the fourth season of Stranger Things (which, by the way, lasts as much as two and a half hours) brings together all the most important characters for the plot in one place. From Eleven to Hooper, all of these heroes meet again at Hawkins. The last scenes of the episode prove to us the words of Will, who is sure that Vecna survived the clash with a group of teenagers and opened the door to the “other side” for good.
It is the final minutes of the fourth season that the creators make us understand that the new installment of the series will focus on absorbing our world by the “other side”. Nevertheless, this is where the key question arises – when will the fifth season debut?
We’re slowly approaching the end of Stranger Things
Due to the history of the series, which has been in the Netflix collection since 2016, we can suspect when the fifth season will hit our hands. The break between the third and fourth installments of the series was record-long due to the pandemic situation that successfully crossed the plans of the Duffer brothers and the entire film crew.
Nevertheless, we can assume that the shooting of one season in the case of Stranger Things takes six to seven months. However, the tedious post-production process takes longer. Therefore, we have the right to suspect that the fifth season of the series will appear in the Netflix library in the period from the end of 2023 to mid-2024 . In addition, the fourth installment of the series showed us that the Duffer brothers have no problem testing the patience of viewers. Of course, we are talking about dividing it into two parts and extending the final episodes to the limit.
Another important point is, of course, the future of the show. Everything indicates that the fifth season will also be the last one. However , the Duffer brothers spoke about their plans in a recent interview . From the words of the creators of the series, we can conclude that after the final part of Stranger Things they will produce the spin-off!
There are many exciting stories to be told and characters to be told in our world. These are new secrets and new adventures. We didn’t share our plans with Netflix, but we think even they will be surprised by the concept we’ve put together. We haven’t started writing well yet, and Finn Wolfhard has already guessed it! [Mike’s role play – editor’s note Ed.] He’s a crazy smart kid.
The Duffer brothers
Nevertheless, the creators are still focused on creating the fifth season of the series. Matt Duffer revealed in one of the conversations that he already knows the ending of the whole story and most likely it will not change. This means that the script of the new version is already written or is undergoing the last touches. In addition, the creators themselves and actors working on Stranger Things suggest that the finale will be very emotional and unexpected.
Fans of the series after the fourth season of the series began to spin theories about the possible transfer in time. We are led to such a trail, for example by the fact that the world on the “other side” stopped in 1983. However, it should be emphasized that these are only the viewers’ guesses.
When it comes to the cast of the fifth season, we don’t have to worry about anything. All the actors key to the plot will return in their roles. The only exception is Sadie Sink, who plays Max Mayfield. As you probably well know, the red-haired heroine died at the hands of Vecna, however, in theory, it was possible to bring her back to life, although there are serious doubts here as well.
Well, season five of Stranger Things promises to be really exciting. For six years, the creators of the series were heading towards the collision of the two worlds presented , which they finally managed to do in the last scenes of the fourth installment of the series. Now we have no choice but to wait for the debut of the new part of the adventures of the Hawkins teen group.
