STRANGER THINGS 5 Will Be a Shorter and Faster-Paced Season

Stranger Things 5 is going to be the final season of the series, it’s what everything has been leading to and the Duffer Bros.’ plan is to rip it off fast like a band-aid. They recently explained that the final season is going to be a somewhat shorter and faster-paced season. While talking to Happy Sad Confused podcast, Matt Duffer explained why this is the case, saying:

“The only reason we don’t expect it to be as long is because if you look at it, it’s almost a two-hour ramp-up before our kids really get drawn into the supernatural mystery. You get to know them, you get to see them in their lives, what they’re struggling with, adapting to high school, and so forth. Steve’s trying to find a date, all of that. None of that obviously is going to be occurring in the first two episodes of [Season 5].”

“For the first time ever we don’t wrap things up at the end of [Season] 4, so it’s going to be moving. I don’t know that it’s going to be going 100 miles an hour at the start of 5, but it’s going to be moving pretty fast. Characters are already going to be in action. They’re already going to have a goal and a drive, and I think that’s going to carve out at least a couple hours and make this [final] season feel really different.”

This has been such a fun series to watch and I’m excited to see how this story comes to an end! There’s so much to wrap up with the characters, and I just hope that it has an awesome ending! So many great shows have suffered from a horrible ending. I hope that doesn’t happen with Stranger Things.
