Stranger Things Season 5 Will Leave Fans Wanting More, Say Creators
Stranger Things season 5 will leave fans wanting more, according to the show's co-creator Matt Duffer. After a nearly three-year hiatus due to pandemic-related delays, Netflix's popular supernatural series is set to return to the streaming service next month with a season 4 split into two volumes. The first four episodes will premiere on May 27, followed by the remaining five on July 1. Written and directed principally by the Duffer Brothers, season 4 will pick up six months after the Battle of Starcourt.
The last time audiences saw the Stranger Things crew in 2019, Billy had sacrificed himself to save Eleven, Mike, and Max from the Mind Flayer while Hopper fought and killed Grigori before being seemingly disintegrated after Joyce triggers an explosion to close the gate to the Upside Down. Season 4 will pick in the aftermath as the show's core friend group is separated for the first time and forced to navigate the difficulties of high school while a new supernatural threat lurks in the Upside Down. However, this won't spell the end of the show quite yet, as Stranger Things will be returning for a fifth and final season.
