PREY Director Dan Trachtenberg Teases the "Awesome" Season 5 Episode of STRANGER THINGS He's Directing

The Hollywood writers strike is over, and we are finally back on track on the way to getting our favorite shows again that had been on the backburner. One of those is the highly-anticipated fifth and final season of the Netflix mega-hit series, Stranger Things. One person that’s ready to talk about the show is director Dan Trachtenberg, who previously helmed the films 10 Cloverfield Lane and Prey, as well as episodes of Black Mirror and The Boys, who is taking on an episode of Stranger Things in its final season.

Trachtenberg recently spoke to Collider (via CB) about Stranger Things, and teased it is going to be "awesome." 

"I was prepping it before the strike and doing previews for sequences and stuff. It's awesome! I'm doing it because I love that show so much. I think every season has gotten better and better and better, and this is the final one, and the Duffers are geniuses and good, really good dudes. And this episode, that's just 'an episode' of Season 5, has several awesome set pieces in it and it's gonna be huge, man. It's a big season, and, so far, so cool." 

Trachtenberg's involvement with Stranger Things was announced back in June. Netflix previously announced:

"Get ready to head back to Hawkins, Indiana. Season 5 of Stranger Things is inching closer, and a new member is joining the Party -- 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg will direct an episode of the show's upcoming final season. There's no word yet on which episode the director will helm, but he's an eminently qualified set of hands."

I just know this fifth season is going to be a great final chapter to the story we all love. There’s no official release date yet, the show’s IMDb page just says it will be returning in 2025. Seasons 1-4 are available to watch now on Netflix.
