Creators' Insights on the Series Finale

"Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things," wrote Matt and Ross Duffer in an open letter. "At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but - as you’ll see for yourselves - we are now hurtling toward our finale."

Looking Ahead

Though the show’s end is near, fans can feel grateful for the additional content still coming. The cast has grown significantly since the series began, making this conclusion both fitting and emotional. There is excitement about what the Duffer Brothers will create next, possibly a Stranger Things spin-off, according to Variety.
