All of our worries for Stranger Things 4 taking so long to come out seem to have vanished not just
because we finally know the release dates but because we now know the reason behind
the lengthy production schedule and the three year gap. As mentioned by the Duffers in their
special letter to the fans: “With 9 scripts, over 800 pages, almost 2 years of filming,
thousands of visual effects shots, and a runtime nearly twice the length of any previous season,
Stranger Things 4 was the most challenging season yet, but also the most rewarding one.
Everyone involved is incredibly proud of the results, and we can't wait to share it with you.”
The cast and crew saying that Stranger Things season 4 being the biggest is one thing, but
we didn’t grasp the scale of the situation until this past Thursday in that letter when the Duffer
Brothers said that it will be nearly twice as long as previous seasons. That means that both volumes
will basically be two seasons worth of content for us Stranger Things fans. But on top of that,
the super sized fourth season is not even the end of the series, since the Duffers continued:
“It's also the beginning of the end. Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for
Stranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last 4 to 5 seasons. It proved too
large to tell in four, but, as you’ll soon see for yourselves, we are now hurtling toward our finale.
Season 4 will be the penultimate season; season 5 will be the last.” It makes you wonder if Stranger
Things 4, as previously stated, will indeed be the Avengers: Infinity War of the franchise,
while Stranger Things 5 will be the equivalent to Avengers: Endgame.
It begs the question: how will Stranger Things season 4 end? And will season 5 pick up
immediately after the events of season 4? One of the common complaints that casual audiences have
with Stranger Things is the aging of the child actors. It’s even worse now that it’s confirmed
that season 4 takes place only 6 months after season 3, something that has even bothered me as
well. If Stranger Things 5 is the direct sequel to Stranger Things 4 and takes place moments after,
the aging issues will be at its worst when our cast of teen characters look even older by the
time season 5 begins filming either late this year or early 2023. Some fans think that season
4 will end with a massive cliffhanger where our gang loses the fight and are forced to retreat,
as well as ending with the fall of Hawkins. The destruction of the small Indiana town seems to
be hinted at if you look at certain set pictures and videos from last year that show the Surfer
Boy Pizza van driving by the wreckage, with lots of soldiers and cops running around. Could it be
that a major character dies in the finale as well? If Steve Harrington dies, we will riot,
my fellow strangers! Here’s hoping that nothing like that happens in season 4.
Another thing to note is how every season with the exception of the first has been marketed with a
different time in a consecutive year. Season 2 was the Fall of 1984, Season 3 was the Summer of 1985,
and now Season 4 is the Spring of 1986. Could it be that Season 5 will be the Winter of 1987
and take place during Christmas and New Years? It’s what everyone wanted for season 4 after all!
Maybe if they want to extend the gap in the story itself, it could be the Winter
of 1988 for the gang’s senior year of high school. If our favorites lose in season 4,
they could assemble one last time a couple of years later to end the threat of the Upside
Down once and for all. It would be interesting to see how they fit Christmas into all of this.
I just pray that our boy Steve doesn’t get killed off. Overall, very worrisome times.
And that is all that we have for today. What are your theories on how Stranger Things 4
will end? Could Stranger Things 5 take place in the late 80s and have a Christmas theme?
