'Stranger Things' Director and Executive Producer Speaks on Ending Show in Season Five
Noting that they “wanted to only tell as much story as the [Duffer] brothers saw and feel with clarity.”
Stranger Things director and executive producer Shawn Levy opened up about ending the famed Netflix show in season five, stating that the timing was right.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Levy shared that they do not want to move from the “vision and the clarity” of what the Duffer Brothers planned. “Well, we never wanted to run on fumes and we wanted to only tell as much story as the brothers saw and feel with clarity. So it’s been clear for a while that they know exactly where we’re headed and this is the arc. We wouldn’t want to stick around for one moment beyond that vision and the clarity of that voice,” he explained.
“So rather than focusing on that sad day that happens who knows when, the end of season five, I’ll just once again reaffirm what I’ve told everyone, which is it has been a long-ass wait for season four. But I swear to God, the world will realize it’s worth it.”
While a release date for the fifth season is yet to be announced by Netflix, its upcoming fourth season is set to hit the streamer on May 27 after a lengthy three-year gap from season four.
Elsewhere in entertainment, Florence Pugh is in negotiations to join the cast of Dune: Part Two in a major role.
