Greetings, my fellow strangers! It’s Mrs. Strange back again! On
today’s episode for Stranger Universe, I will talk about the likelihood that
Stranger Things 5 will be released in two parts, just like Stranger Things 4.
As confident as some fans can be, we’ll unfortunately be waiting a long time for
Stranger Things 5. Production on each season has been substantial, and even though we can blame the
pandemic for the delayed release date of Stranger Things 4, the show as a whole started to grow in
size, so huge gaps in between every season became the standard. If we look back at season 4, only a
month of filming had been done before production shut down thanks to the quarantine. Filming was
delayed by six months and didn’t pick up again until late September 2020. Production wrapped on
the fourth season approximately a year later in early September 2021. Considering that it took a
further eight months before volume 1 was released on Netflix, that gives us a total of 21 months,
or 27 months if you add the delay in production. Considering the run time of the fourth season,
it’s no surprise it took so long to film. In regards to Stranger Things 5, Production Weekly
stated in a report that season 5 would commence filming in May 2023. With that said, recent rumors
about a latter start date in the summer has people speculating on how much longer we are gonna wait
for production to begin, and most of all, the release date of season 5. Although the final
season of Stranger Things is unlikely to release on Netflix for a while, production kicking off
is great news, especially given that fans had to wait three years between season 3 and 4.
We also don't know what release model the final season of Stranger Things will take.
Netflix dropped the first three seasons of the show in their entirety. However, season 4 broke
the trend and released in two volumes, with volume 1 containing seven episodes, and volume
2 releasing five weeks later and containing the last two episodes. Before Netflix did this with
the penultimate season of Stranger Things, they already released the final seasons of many other
shows split in half. We saw it happen with the final seasons of Ozark, Lucifer, and Money Heist,
all of which had a longer gap between their volume release dates. It makes you wonder if Stranger
Things season 5 will also continue the trend. The decision to split season 4 paid off because more
people talked the show than ever before, with theories and speculation sky-high in between
both volumes. With the possibility that Stranger Things 5 begins filming in the middle of the year,
a summer 2024 release date seems to be more difficult by the day. Season 5 will surely
have a bigger budget than season 4, with more time for post production due to the increase in visual
effects and CGI. One way they can potentially solve out this issue is by splitting season 5
in two volumes. I’m sure Netflix will love to do this, and at the end of the day, it will be their
decision to make. As it stands, I think we’ll get season 5 at the end of 2024, and it wouldn’t
surprise me if they do a split volume release between November and December. In the meantime,
we shall wait for more updates in the next few months. Overall, super exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. Do you think that Stranger Things
season 5 will be released in two parts?
