*WARNING: This article may contain spoilers*
Stranger Things Season 4 hasn’t even been filmed yet and there’s already talk that the Stranger Things season 5 is on its way.
There had been some speculation that the upcoming Stranger Things season 4 would be the last run for the incredibly popular Netflix original series. But that no longer seems to be the case after The Hollywood Reporter’s interview with the show’s creators where the two talented individuals unveiled that the next chapter set to hit the streaming service will not be the last and Stranger Things season 5 is on the way.
In a recent interview with Gold Derby, Stranger Things star David Harbour, who plays Hopper, commented on his character’s upcoming arc and that there is still plenty of stories left to be told.
“I will tell you in Season 4 and in Season 5, if we’re ever able to film again, there is a lot to be revealed around the complexities of [Hopper’s] story, which is really rich, and I’m really excited for you to see. Because we know the ending, you’ll be able to go back and watch it and see, you know, what we were planting in Season 3 that paid off in Season 4 and Season 5.”
Rumors Suggest Stranger Things Season 4 Has Been Split Into Two Parts
Without an official confirmation, it’s hard to know whether Netflix will renew Stranger Things for a fifth season, or if there might be a different plan at play. For instance, in early 2020, We Got This Covered reported, “the original plan was to make Season 4 the last,” however, “they’ve now decided to just extend the plot across an additional run.” The report continued, “The second part, we’re told, maybe marketed as Season 5, but it’ll essentially be the second half of Season 4 as it will continue the same storyline.” Either way, it would seem that we’re getting more episodes of Stranger Things.
Stranger Things Season 5 release date
Seeing as Season 4 of the show hasn’t even been produced yet, it’s likely we’ll be waiting quite some time for Season 5.
There is no official release date for Stranger Things season 5, and considering the fact that season 4 doesn’t have a spot for fans to make on the calendars yet, then it may very well take some time for one to make its way from the Upside Down to Netflix’s official schedule. It’s safe to assume that once subscribers have a better understanding of when the next iteration releases, they will have a more clear idea of when its follow-up could make its way to the streaming service.
Stranger Things Season 5 cast
There is no telling at this point who will make up the cast of Stranger Things season 5 until people have seen what happens in season four. Every season seems to contain an impactful death or cliffhanger disappearance, making it hard who will still be around as well as who will be needing to make a shocking comeback.
n season two, we learned that eleven was still alive after exploding the Demogorgon, and it seems that hopper very well could have survived the events depicted at the enthralling end of season 3. So it would seem that the main characters are pretty immune to biting the dust, so it may be a safe bet for fans to rest assured that their favorites will still be around for Stranger Things season 5.
It usually ends up being the new guys that end up pushing up daisies in Stranger Things, but their lack of time in the spotlight doesn’t make their deaths any easier. Bob the Brain, Barb, and Dr. Alexie all were tough losses to swallow, and it will be interesting to see who they introduce and then take away in Stranger Things season 5.
Every season introduces excellent new characters, whether Mad Max in season 2 or Robin in the third season. There will undoubtedly be a slue of new and familiar faces making up the cast, making Stranger Things season 5 a must-see affair.
Stranger Things Season 5 trailer
There is no trailer for Stranger Things season 5, and fans should not hold their breath for one to arrive anytime soon. There hasn’t even been a Stranger Things season 4 trailer that has come out, so the chance of one dropping for its follow-ups is less than pretty slim at this point. As soon as one does release, we will be sure to share it with everyone.
