STRANGER THINGS Producer Says There's an "End in Sight" and Discusses Spinoff Possibilities

One day Stranger Things will come to an end and it’s been teased in the past that the end could come with Season 5. Producer and director Shawn Levy recently talked about the ending of the series saying that there is an endgame, and that end is in sight. He shared with Collider:

"I have the end in sight. The brothers [creators/showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer] have the end in sight. There is a plan and that too will be shared not quite as soon as a sense of when season 4 is coming out, but soon enough. I can say this. No one's making it up as we go along and there is an endgame, if you will."

Now, while the main Stranger Things series will eventually come to an end, there is a possibility that we could see some spinoff shows. Levy went on to discuss that potential, saying:

"I'd say what's been made clear is this is obviously a tent pole, arguably the tentpole franchise in the history of Netflix. Obviously certain other shows played key roles in their evolution, but Stranger Things with 196 million viewers over the time that we've been on the air, that's a lot of households. And it's unique in that Netflix service. What's been made clear is there is an interest and a real voracious appetite for any offshoot, any other iteration format or extension of the franchise, the characters, the mythology. And certainly those conversations are hardly evolved, but they're also not non-existent."

It’d be cool to see some spinoff shows. There’s such a rich mythology here to play with filled with fascinating stories to tell. If they keep the same level of quality as Stranger Things, these spinoff shows could also be a huge hit.

While we wait to see how the franchise evolves, we can enjoy Stranger Things Season 4, which is coming in 2022.
