The Duffer Bros. Reveal How Many Seasons They Want From STRANGER THINGS
Like many of you, I've been wondering how many seasons the Duffer Bros. have planned out for Stranger Things. Later this year we will embark on the journey Season 2 has to offer, but how many more seasons will follow after that?
While talking to EW, Ross and Matt Duffer talk about their plans and one thing that they want to make sure is that Stranger Things doesn't wear out it's welcome and that it finishes off strong. As of right now the plan is to go four or five seasons, but that's all subject to change depending on how the series evolves.
Ross says, “Everything changes as we move forward so we’ll see,” and Matt add, “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.”
These guys seem to know what they want out of the series and they seem to be playing it smart. They aren't really committed to how many seasons there will be yet, but they obviously hope that it at least runs four seasons. It's good to know that they aren't afraid to switch things up, though, if they feel they need to.
One thing they want to do with Season 2 like they did with Season 1 is make it feel like one long movie. Ross explains:
“Hopefully you’ll come to the end of season 2 and feel fully satisfied and want more but you’ll feel like it has come to a conclusion. But also we’ve laid the ground work for further seasons.”
I can't wait to see how this full series plays out and see how the full story arcs of these characters play out of Season 2 and the rest of the series. Stranger Things Season 2 will premiere on Netflix on Halloween this year!
