PREY Director Dan Trachtenberg Comes Aboard STRANGER THINGS Season 5

Dan Trachtenbergthe director of 10 Cloverfield Ave AND Preyhas joined Stranger things Season 5 and will direct an episode. Trachtenberg is a talented director who also directed the pilot for The boysAND Black mirror: play test. He will be a great addition to the directing team.

This news comes after the exciting announcement that Terminator star Linda Hamilton joined the cast. We have no idea who he’s playing, but I hope he’s a badass character who can see some action! He joins a long list of 80s actors to join the franchise, including Winona Ryder, Matthew Modino, Sean Astin, Paul Reiser, Cary Elwes AND Robert Englund.

When previously describes Stranger Things 5, the writing team described the next chapter of the story “it’s like seasons 1 and 4 have a baby. And then that kid was injected with steroids.”

While we don’t know much about what the story will involve, we do know that Will will be the “main focus” of season five, as the final episodes “jump back to season one.” Matt Duffer previously said, “We’re starting to see his coming of age, really, which has been difficult for a variety of reasons; some of which are supernatural. But you’re starting to see him come of age.”

Ross Duffer He added, “I think you’ll see that with a couple of character arcs, not just with Will. But also with Steve and Nancy, and his relationship with Jonathan, where things aren’t fully resolved. The characters have maybe taken steps , as was the case with Will, but that journey isn’t over yet, and that’s going to play a huge part as we try to wrap this thing up next season.

Noah Schnapp He also said, “I can just tell you that I’m very, very excited for what’s to come. I think they’ve done a great job with Will’s character this season, and they’ve tackled everything they need to beautifully. closed the show is just perfect: the story began with Will and will end with Will.”

Now, just because the Stranger things is ending, doesn’t mean the franchise is ending. Netflix has ordered an animated spin-off series and the Duffers tease that “there are still many more exciting stories to tell in the world of Stranger Things; new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes.”

The show is set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana in the 1980s and follows a group of friends as they investigate supernatural events and government conspiracies while plunging the small Midwestern town into an apocalyptic nightmare. The series has been praised for its strong cast, twisted storylines, and nostalgic references to 1980s pop culture, which Hamilton fits right into.

Stranger Things 5 it will be the last time Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Want (Noah SchnappDustin (Gaten Matrazzo), Luca (Caleb McLaughlin), Maximum (Sadie Sink), and the rest of the Hawkins gang are all together for one last fight against the evil Vecna ​​(Jamie Campbell Bower).

Stranger things 5 is expected to premiere in 2024 on Netflix.
