And now, let us begin...
In an epic and glorious day full of content and news, Stranger Things will not only release
season 4 in two parts, but it has also officially been renewed for a fifth and final season.
Production of Stranger Things 4 had to be delayed several times due to the pandemic,
so fans have been either patiently waiting for news, and in some cases they have given
up waiting.
It’s understandable for some who were waiting 3 years to hear about its release and story
with no word from the cast and crew until yesterday.
With the confirmation of the release date for Stranger Things season 4 also came the
announcement of Stranger Things season 5, which will the show’s last season.
The Duffers shared the news in a letter to the fans, but Stranger Things 5 being the
conclusion shouldn’t really come as a surprise, as it had been hinted at many times before
in the past by the creators themselves.
Back in 2017, the Duffer Brothers were asked about when Stranger Things would come to an
end, as there were already rumors about season 4 being the last, to which Ross Duffer replied
that “four to five seasons is likely where we’ll end up”.
Speaking to Collider in 2021, producer Shawn Levy confirmed that the Duffers had “the
end in sight” and that “there is an endgame”, so it makes sense that the show is coming
to its end with season 5.
A possible contributing factor to Stranger Things ending are the ages of the actors,
more so after all the delays season 4 went through, which will directly impact the portrayal
of their characters.
I previously talked about how I was kind of disappointed with the way that season 4 didn’t
change the setting to at least one year later to the spring of 1987 to fix the aging issues
a bit.
Our main cast of characters will be freshmen in high school, which isn’t exactly troublesome
until you realize that Stranger Things 4 takes place only 6 months after Stranger Things
3.
I guess you could argue that the strangest thing this upcoming season is seeing how kids
in Hawkins can age 3 years in the span of 6 months according to the show’s timeline.
The kids are also getting more and more opportunities outside Hawkins, and their schedules could
come in the way if Stranger Things continues beyond season 5, putting the arcs of their
characters and the overall story of Hawkins at risk of losing the interest of the audience
and even its quality.
Stranger Things season 5 is the right moment to end the series and avoid problems like
over-saturating the audience, the cast leaving, and the story being stretched to cover more
ground.
After all, it feels like the series has been heading towards this “early” ending since
season 2.
It’s unknown when the final season of Stranger Things could be released, for all we know
it could in 2025 to ensure the quality is even better than ever.
Hopefully, there won’t be a big gap between seasons 4 and 5 like with previous ones.
Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today.
Do you think that Stranger Things should end with 5 seasons, or do you wish that it goes
on longer?
