Stranger Things Season 5 will be the end of the iconic Netflix series. Since its premiere in 2016, it’s become a favorite of Netflix subscribers around the world. After Season 4 came to a dramatic end, many viewers have questions. For example, what will happen to Max?

Right now, there are many more questions than answers. Season 5 is definitely on its way, but how soon will it be available to view on Netflix?

Fans can’t wait for Stranger Things Season 5

As much as fans love and adore Stranger Things, they aren’t wild about how long it takes to film new seasons. There are significant gaps between each season and the child actors are now adults. This is definitely something that the production team will have to take into account.

But rest assured, the Duffer Brothers and their cast and crew are hard at work bringing Stranger Things Season 5 to life.

“Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things,” the Duffer brothers announced. “At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but — as you’ll soon see for yourselves — we are now hurtling toward our finale. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; Season 5 will be the last.”

The official Stranger Things Twitter account shared a tweet last fall confirming that scripts were complete. Now, it’s just a matter of time before shooting and production begin.

The season hasn’t started shooting yet, but that will reportedly begin this summer.

“We start shooting that in June, though, and that will be the final season,” Stranger Things star David Harbour announced recently. “I did a lot of training for Season 4. He [Hopper] was in a very specific position, that Russian prison. It was about making him a different guy and sort of shedding a layer of himself physically, mentally, and emotionally. But now he’s back in town, he’s back in America where they have cheeseburgers, so he will be well-fed.”

As Distractify notes, there is no official premiere date yet. It will largely depend on how quickly the team can film and edit footage.

What can fans expect from the exciting final season?

Stranger Things is notorious for introducing beloved characters who typically die within one season. The Duffer Brothers will reportedly avoid that in Season 5.

“We’re doing our best to resist [adding new characters] for Season 5,” the showrunners told IndieWire. “We’re trying not to do that so we can focus on the OG characters, I guess.”

Other than that, the plot of Season 5 is still anyone’s guess. However, many fans suspect that the Duffer Brothers are leaving the door open for potential spinoffs.
