Today, we bring you promising news. Fans had a much longer wait than they anticipated for
Stranger Things seasons 3 and 4, as the pandemic pushed back production for months. The delays in
production offered the unique opportunity for the series' writing team to complete
all of the scripts for Stranger Things 4, and even develop an outline for Stranger Things 5,
which could potentially mean writing is completed earlier than expected. Yesterday, the Duffers
revealed that they will begin writing the fifth and final season in August, and now we have David
Harbour in an interview with GQ UK teasing that production likely won't start until next year,
which would result in a 2024 release. When asked about it, here’s what he had to say:
"I think we'll shoot next year. They're finishing writing it this year,
and they need to prep and stuff, so hopefully it'll be this year.
But I think that's the plan. So it'd probably come out mid-2024, based on our track record."
Stranger Things season 4 started shooting originally in January 2020, but was then
pushed to the fall due to the pandemic. With it taking 18 months from production start to the
episodes airing, Harbour's trajectory lines up with the series' past, even if it's nothing more
than speculation. While excitement for season 5 will be palpable among fans, its development will
bring some bittersweet feelings, as it will also be the final season of the series. However, David
Harbour theorized that details about spinoffs from the proper series will start to emerge
before Season 5 gets released, potentially helping ease the pain of the goodbye among audiences.
"I think as soon as the show ends, or maybe six months before it ends,
you'll be hearing about whatever spinoffs they have planned."
Details about planned spinoffs are being kept under wraps, but Harbour admitted
he wasn't opposed to seeing a new actor play a younger version of his Jim Hopper.
"At this point, I think Hopper is a character that can exist independent of me. If they wanna
go back in time, forward in time... I'd love to see another actor play Hopper,
and see what they can bring to it." Harbour even suggested that Jacob Elordi,
famous for his roles in Euphoria and The Kissing Booth for the part, should play
the role if a prequel ever happens. "He could pull off being as handsome as I was at 20."
It will be exciting to see if that prequel spinoff actually happens.
On the other hand, I have been predicting a summer 2024 release date for Stranger Things 5,
and with this interview with David Harbour, I am much more confident in my prediction.
If I were to guess, my bet is that we could see another split Volume release,
perhaps between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July weekend again.
In 2024, that would be Friday, May 24, and then Thursday, July 4, just like season 3 in 2019.
If that were to happen, we would be exactly one day less than 2 years from the release date of the
second volume for season 5. But at the end of the day’ it’s just a theory. For all we know, Stranger
Things season 5 could have a Christmas theme and release in December 2024. We shall see when more
plot details are revealed and when production begins to wrap up. Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today.
What are your predictions for the release date of Stranger Things 5?
