Stranger Things 5′ will be "like season one on steroids"

The Duffer Brothers confirm that the final season will be much bigger than previous seasons.

The end of Stranger Things is near. The fifth and final season of the popular Netflix series will conclude the story of all these characters, the children who have grown up and the adults who continue to fight evil in Hawkins, the small and mysterious town where the plot unfolds. In an interview with The Guardian, co-creator Matt Duffer has revealed that the scale will be much larger while defining the final season as “it’s like season one on steroids.”

“It’s the biggest it’s ever been in terms of scale, but it has been really fun, because everyone’s back together in Hawkins: the boys and Eleven interacting more in line with how it was in season one. And, yes, there may be spin-offs, but the story of Eleven and Dustin and Lucas and Hopper, their stories are done here. That’s it”.

The Duffer brothers believe they will go through the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) when the show ends. They will be sad to never spend more time with the characters they created, even though the creators already have other projects on their hands.

You’re not going to try to please everyone with the ending of ‘Stranger Things.

What about the ending of Stranger Things? Great shows have stumbled in their final seasons or episodes, something the creators point out in the interview. “Endings of shows are like opening a restaurant in terms of the success-failure rate,” Matt Duffer said. “there’s an 80% failure rate, I’d say. But I think one very particular way to fail is to attempt to appease everybody. We have a huge variety of fans,” of different ages, “I’m sure they have all their own ideas of how they want the show to end. But we’re not consulting social media on this.” Duffer concluded that once the path was chosen, they followed it without further consideration.

Stranger Things 5′ still does not have a confirmed premiere date. Like other productions, it has been affected by the writers’ strike and the actors’ strike, both of which have been resolved.
