StrangerThings creators warn fans that though season 5 will be the end, it may leave them wanting even more: 'We’re going to feel like we still have a lot more gas left in the tank.'
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.
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.
Even with five it’s going to feel like it’s ending a little early. We’re going to feel like we still have a lot more gas left in the tank. But I think that it’s better to end there with us wanting more. That’s why ending at five felt like the right move. While die-hard Stranger Things fans might be disappointed to hear the show will wrap up with a lot of gas left in the tank, the Duffer Brothers' decision to end the show after five seasons is completely justified and their argument is sound.
Other shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad wrapped up at just the right time, the latter ending after 5 seasons, which is considered a sweet spot for dramas. As many shows have proven, more is not always better. With a strong final season, the Duffer Brothers should be able to preserve the show's legacy and leave fans wanting more, which they might even get.
