The much-anticipated fifth and final season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” is shaping up to be an epic conclusion to the beloved series. According to Maya Hawke, who plays Robin, the final season will consist of eight episodes that feel more like movies than traditional TV episodes.
During her appearance on the Podcrushed podcast, Hawke revealed that the episodes for the final season are “very long” and that filming is expected to take the entire year. Production officially started on January 8, 2024, after delays due to Hollywood strikes, and is expected to wrap up around the same time next year.
Hawke praised the dedication and involvement of showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer, who work closely with an “amazing team of writers” to ensure the quality of the series remains high. She explained that the Duffer Brothers are “very intense and serious about the quality of the continued writing,” which contributes to the lengthy production process.
The scope of the final season is described as “major, major, cinematic storytelling,” according to producer Shawn Levy. He emphasized that the scale and depth of the story will be comparable to some of the biggest movies. This sentiment aligns with what fans have come to expect from “Stranger Things,” especially after the fourth season featured episodes that stretched beyond the typical runtime of a TV show.
While the Duffer Brothers initially suggested that the final season might not be as long as the fourth, it appears that the ambition and complexity of the story have necessitated extended episodes. This means fans can look forward to a truly immersive and expansive conclusion to the saga of Eleven, Mike, Hawkins, and the Upside Down.
As the final season continues to unfold, it’s clear that the creators are committed to delivering a memorable and satisfying ending. The dedication of the cast and crew, combined with the intricate storytelling, ensures that the final season of “Stranger Things” will be an unforgettable journey.
