The fifth season of Stranger Things will take less time to arrive than the fourth and we tell you everything that is known at the moment of the season In this note!
Now that the fourth season of stranger things It has already come to an end with two very big and interesting chapters, we all want to know when we will be able to see the fifth season of the series or what it will be about. But rest assured that geeky culture We are going to solve all those doubts and more in this note. BEWARE OF THE SPOILERS of the FOURTH SEASON!
After the surprising events of the season finale, we all want to know what the future holds for hawkins and to the group of friends that we have been following for years. Confirmed by the brothers Duffer years ago, everything we saw and is coming in stranger things it is planned from the time the series was written. So the Duffer You already know how the series will end, something that many are anxious about.
Since the first season, every time our protagonists won, the Upside Down he learned from his mistake and got smarter. And this we could clearly see in the events of the fourth season. But now that everything seems to have reached the beginning of the end, it is very clear that we will see how the group of friends of hawkins must once again face the monsters of the Upside Down in order to defeat him once and for all.
The fifth season is confirmed since the Duffer announced the arrival of the fourth. In the announcement, the duo behind the series commented that “The fourth season will be the penultimate and the fifth the last”so we already have to prepare to say goodbye to great characters like raise, Mike, Nancy either Steven.
The decision for the series to end in its fifth season came from the Duffer and it’s your attempt to stranger things don’t become the next Game of Thrones. That is, the writers want to prevent the audience from feeling like the series came to an end with a lot of unresolved issues that had hasty solutions or didn’t have any at all. The fourth season of stranger things clarified a bit the panorama of great villains like neighborwho ends up being the mind behind many of the events of previous seasons, and shows us more of the dynamic between the characters.
But …what is coming in the fifth season? After the end of the fourth, and from here we are going to talk about spoilers of the series, we discover that although neighbor was defeated, they did not kill him. The villain’s disappearance sets up his possible return as the next season’s villain. But one of the places that has to interest us the most in the end of the fourth season is hawkins.
The town where it all started suffers a great crack. The four portals that we discovered throughout the seasons connect and create a huge crack where smoke and storms from the Upside Down they immerse themselves in the real world. So we will surely see in the fifth season how this issue is resolved in the first episode or throughout the season.
As for the plot, the brothers Duffer They confirmed that it is already known what will happen in this last season. “There are many interesting stories to tell within the world of stranger things“the brothers said at the time. “New mysteries, new adventures, unexpected new heroes. But first we hope you will stay with us as we finish the story of this powerful girl named Eleven and her brave friends of hers.”.
At the moment, the script has not been written, but there is already an idea of what will be told in this new season. And from what they said at the time Dufferthe story of raise will end, but the door of the spin-off of other characters that we do not know out there is still wide open.
The good news for those who were already questioning the age of the protagonists a bit is that we will have a jump in time. Actors who started as boys to play the friends currently have 19 years, age that they appear and that their characters clearly do not have. Since we are talking about a time jump, and considering that neighbor ran away and may not show up for a few years, it could be passed off at least 5 years so that the age of the actors is more in line with that of the characters. Of course, this would be accepted by fans if there is some well-developed reason.
As for those who will return for this fifth season, all the actors would be confirmed since their characters are still alive. The only actress who might not appear is Sadie Sinkwho plays Max. This is because the season finale revealed to us that he was left in a coma after the attack by neighbor. In case he recovers, we will see a very different Max from the one we already know.
But actors whose characters died will probably not participate in the season. Unless the show’s writers find a logical way to justify his return, as they did back then with Jim Hopperwho despite being evaporated survived and appeared in Russia.
Something that is not known is whether the season will be divided into two parts like its predecessor, since the decision to make two volumes of the fourth season was made considering the length of the chapters. It would be expected that the season will have the same number of episodes with a similar duration and in case it is divided into two that the chapters will arrive quite close together.
And now the most important: When does the new season arrive? It is very difficult to say for sure, since we were just able to enjoy the fourth installment. However, the Duffer confirmed that four and five were going to be recorded one after the other. This could not be achieved due to the pandemic and the lack of a script for the fifth season, but it shows us that the team wants fans to be able to enjoy the final season of the series as soon as possible. Considering that the fourth season was recorded in two years, we may not see the end of the series until 2024.
All the episodes of the penultimate season of stranger things are already available in Netflix. So now you can do a marathon of the season and, why not, start watching it from 0 to be able to find all the nods to neighbor that we missed the first time we saw the series because we didn’t know about the existence of the villain.
