The plot for Stranger Things season 2 has already been revealed. But thanks to EW again, we find out more information about where the show could go beyond the second season.

According to creators Ross and Matt Duffer, the duo is eyeing for the title to last around four or five seasons, with the possibility of that changing.

“Everything changes as we move forward so we’ll see,” says Ross Duffer. Adds Matt Duffer, “I want it to have a really finite ending. I don’t want it to be one of those shows that runs out of gas and they lose it because they’re losing interest. You wanna end when you’re on top.”

With that said, four to five seasons sounds like a realistic target. It’s the average number of seasons where some of the best shows have ended — Breaking Bad finished in five and Lost finished in six, so it’s around that wheelhouse. Regardless, as long as the show is in the hands of the Duffer brothers, we should expect some great things.
