Good and bad news
Effectively. fans of stranger things right now they have two pieces of news to cling to: one good and one bad. The first is that the Hawkins boys series continues with new episodes that will get us out of the quagmire of that cliffhanger final that we have seen in the ninth chapter of the fourth season; but the bad news is that this future fifth season will be the last. And there will be no more.
That, obviously, will clearly mark what we will see on the screen that is close to a conflictive resolution. It is evident that the losses of some characters are taken for granted, that there will be more casualties, that the kids will achieve their goal of wiping out the threats from the Upside Down world but at tremendous cost, so we can only guess at the depth of that sacrifice.
Moreover, knowing what happened between the third and fourth seasons, which are separated by two years and ten months from the premiere of each one, It seems complicated that the Duffer brothers can sustain the argument without resorting to a small time jump again in the lives of the protagonists, which justifies the aspect of twentysomethings already in an age that the actors have right now, unlike their characters that have remained while they have hit between 15 and 16.
But of course, imagining that there is a break of a couple of years in the history of the series, with which there is a mess with the Vecna and the other protagonists sounds a bit…. weird?
When does the fifth season arrive?
At the moment there is no reliable data on a future release date, beyond applying the logic of what has been experienced so far, when the Duffer brothers have needed a minimum of 20 months to bring a new batch of chapters. If we add to this that the complexity and dimensions of the series right now are considerably greater than those of seasons one and two, for example, then it turns out that, at a minimum, we will have to wait until the summer of 2024 to find out how the series ends. thing… if not later.
Only Stranger Things S5 it would make it to that date if the Duffer brothers had all the scripts written (which it doesn’t seem like), pre-production needs planned (impossible without the scripts) and filming started next fall. If the start of the recordings goes until next year, the delay could be considerably greater even if they work with all the media in the world provided by Netflix.
So yeah, think summer 2024 at the earliest, and add months from there if things get delayed. What is certain is that the hype for that fifth season he is going to break all the records known on the platform. Don’t you think?
