The ‘Stranger Things’ writing team with the Duffer brothers at the helm is already working on the scripts for what will be the fifth and final season of the series. and, as we see on Twitter, they went to “grid phase”. The writers room account shared a photo with a blackboard divided into grids and these in turn classified into 8 episodes. So, it seems that for the epilogue we will return to the same number of episodes of the first and third season (the second and fourth have 9).

Now that slate needs to be filled with all the key storylines, concepts and moments from the 8 episodes of “Stranger Thing” that remain to be seen, but while it’s the end of the series, it’s not the end of this universe. As announced on July 7, the Duffers have created a production company, Upside Down Pictures, with whom they signed a contract with Netflix which includes 5 new projects for the platform, among these a spin-off of this and a play set in its mythology. There are Hawkins for a while.
Too mature
When “Stranger Things” premiered, it was the year 2016 and its protagonists were between 12 and 14 years old, more or less the same as the actors, but the timeline of the series is slower than real life and for the Season 5 Eleven, Mike, Dustin and company would be around 15 and Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard and Gaten Matarazzo are already between 18 and 19. This, according to Noah Schnapp, Will Byers in the series, in an interview with Flaunt, It was a real headache for the directors and producers of the series.
“It was the pinnacle of change, puberty and growth, and everything was changing with all of us, and the directors just didn’t love it,” Schnapp said referring to the filming of some previous seasons, “And I remember one of the producers came to me and said: “Noah, is there a way you can speak higher and lower yourself a little? For example, we need you to keep that innocence you had in season one. ” For me it was like, “I don’t know what to tell you. My voice is getting deeper. I don’t look young anymore.” The fifth season of “Stranger Thing” doesn’t have an official storyline or release date on the streaming platform, but presumably the group will continue to fight to protect the city and finally try to destroy the upside-down world once and for all.
