Happy Wednesday, my dear strangers!
This is Mrs. Strange, and on today’s episode for Stranger Universe, I will talk about an
interesting update for Stranger Things 5 from the official writers account on Twitter!
The road to Stranger Things 5 is going to be a long one, with little to no production
news for the grand finale of the Netflix flagship horror series.
The main actors have been everywhere from fan conventions to talk shows late at night,
but they have not shared any significant new details about season 5 to no surprise.
We are set to be in a long content drought until the cameras start rolling on Stranger
Things season 5 later this year, with more signs pointing to a June start date for filming
as opposed to May 2023.
However, it seems like the Duffer Brothers have been nice enough to give us a very small
tease of the show’s epic conclusion recently on social media.
Earlier today, the official writers Twitter account for Stranger Things revealed an intriguing
statement about the final season.
As you can see here, “Season 5 is like if seasons 1 and 4 had a baby.
And then that baby was injected with steroids.”
It might not immediately reveal anything outright to you, but we can easily theorize what they
are talking about.
To be frank, Stranger Things 4 was absolutely nothing like the show’s first season, both
couldn’t be anymore different from each other.
Fans of the show have been theorizing that the Duffers are talking about the show returning
to its roots and focusing on the original main characters, adding a bigger emphasis
on the people who were there from the very beginning over the newbies that joined in
the subsequent seasons.
The creators of the show have already stated that there will be no new main characters
added to the cast, so it is easy to assume that the cast capacity has reached its limit
and they will now focus on who they have that’s still alive.
I personally think that they are referring to the original groupings from season 1, with
the core four featuring Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Eleven, the older teens being Nancy, Jonathan
and Steve, and lastly the adults being Joyce and Hopper.
I would like to think that Will Byers is going to be involved with the other main kids, especially
since he’ll have a much bigger focus in Stranger Things season 5.
As for the remaining new characters like Robin, Erica, Argyle, and Murray, I could see them
forming their own group and acting separately from the rest of the cast.
We know that Max will still be in her coma, and one has to wonder if she’ll be in a
coma for the entirety of Stranger Things 5.
I also think we’ll get a winter backdrop for season 5, and we will see Joyce using
her famous Christmas lights to communicate with the Upside Down.
As for the combination of seasons 1 and 4 with the additional steroids on top of that,
I think the Duffers will raise up the stakes even higher than ever, especially since this
will be the finale of the series.
We could see a major battle in every episode, with all of Hawkins being absorbed by the
forces of the Upside Down, and maybe Demogorgons in every episode.
With that said, I do wonder what the Duffers Brothers are referring to with this statement.
Let us know what are your thoughts on this tweet.
Overall, very exciting times.
