The Final Chapter of Stranger Things: A Personal and Ambitious Conclusion

Stranger Things creators/executive producers Matt and Ross Duffer didn’t look too run down when they took the stage at the Next on Netflix event Wednesday to tease the upcoming fifth and final season of the hugely popular series.
Teasing the Final Season
“We spent a full year filming this season. By the end, we’d captured over 650 hours of footage,” Ross Duffer revealed. “So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet. It’s like eight blockbuster movies.”
The last statement confirms once again that the final season of Stranger Things will consist of 8 episodes. As revealed in a teaser last November, their titles are “The Crawl,” “The Vanishing of _,” “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape From Camazotz,” “The Bridge” and “The Rightside Up.”
A Personal and Emotional Conclusion
The final chapter of the coming-of-age paranormal drama is going to be more than a giant spectacle, Matt Duffer said. “We think it’s our most personal story,” he said. “It was super intense and emotional to film — for us and for our actors. We’ve been making this show together for almost 10 years. There was a lot of crying. There was SO much crying.”
The show means so much to all of us, and everyone put their hearts and souls into it. And we hope — and believe — that passion will translate to the screen.
Beyond the Final Season
The Duffers also looked beyond the mothership series, which put the duo on the map nine years ago. While this may be the end of the story for Mike Hopper, Dustin, Lucas, Eleven and the others, it’s not goodbye for Stranger Things,” Matt Duffer said.
The Future of Stranger Things
There are more Stranger Things stories to tell and in the works,” Matt Duffer said. “It’s a bit early at this point to talk about them, but we’re deeply involved in every one — it’s very important to us that everything with the Stranger Things name on it is of the highest quality and not repetitive — that it has a reason to exist and always blazes its own path.
And also, it needs to basically just be… awesome. Or we need to think it’s awesome. And there are a lot of what we think are awesome things on the pipeline.”
Upside Down Pictures
A Stranger Things spinoff was one of the projects the Duffers teased when they launched their Netflix-based Upside Down Pictures. “There are more Stranger Thongs stories to tell and in the works,” Matt Duffer said.
It’s a bit early at this point to talk about them, but we’re deeply involved in every one — it’s very important to us that everything with the Stranger Things name on it is of the highest quality and not repetitive — that it has a reason to exist and always blazes its own path.
And also, it needs to basically just be… awesome. Or we need to think it’s awesome. And there are a lot of what we think are awesome things on the pipeline.”
