When is Season 5 of Stranger Things releasing?
What Erica found under Lucas’ bed isn’t the only thing that’s a mystery. After the first two seasons, we had to wait a year, and then two years for season three, and another two for season four to come out. In an interview with Variety, the Duffer brothers said that they expect the wait to be shorter this time around. But, they haven’t yet started shooting. Here, is an of estimate a year and a half, putting the show airing in the first half of 2024.
All about the time shift
The kids are getting older, as we previously stated. Currently, 11’s Millie Bobby Brown is 18 and Steve’s Joe Keery is 30. The final season would be in 1987 if each season was pushed forward by a year. In contrast, younger viewers may be better able to match their chronological ages if the show skips more than one year. Also, they are about to graduate from Hawkins High School.
The Duffer brother’s small reveal
The show’s creators, the Duffer brothers, have confirmed that there will be a time jump. But they have not provided any additional information. In the wake of season four’s finale, Hawkins was literally on fire. So it appears that the kids need to get back into action as soon as possible. When the Duffers reopen the writers’ room for their show, they’ll have to figure that out.

What season 4 offered?
Eleven began the season in California and some of the crew returned to Hawkins in Season 4. The Duffer Brothers say the show will focus on keeping everyone in Hawkins. There are fluid transitions between settings in the season 4. But, the Duffer Brothers say the show will focus on keeping everyone in Hawkins.
What’s so exciting about season 5 and Will Byers?
Season one began with Will Byers’ abduction, and it appears that the show’s focus could return to him. Duffer says Will is a big part and focus of the season finale. In the fourth season, there was speculation that Will was trying to tell Mike that he was gay, which was a much bigger deal back in 1986. Furthermore, the fact that Will still seems to have some sort of affinity with Vecna complicates everything he does.

Some facts on Eddie and Max
After the death of Eddie Munson, the Duffer brothers have reassured fans that the character’s death was significant in season four. Though Joseph Quinn may appear in a flashback, but he will not be featured in the final season. For Max Mayfield, a mainstay of the show since the second season, things are different.
Vecna attempted to kill Max in the same horrific manner he used to kill others. Max is still breathing, but she’s not in the best of health, and she’s still in a coma. The Duffers just don’t seem to be able to kill off Max. However, the time shift might help her heal.
A twist to hog on?
“There are still many thrilling interesting stories within the world of ‘Stranger Things,’. It includes new paradoxes, new challenges, new and unexpected heroes,” the Duffers teased their fans in a letter.” A spin-off is in the works, according to Variety: “We do have an idea we’re really excited about.”
So, everyone will be surprised, according to the creators, who haven’t even told Netflix about the plan. However, they also said that Mike’s actor, Finn Wolfhard, got the spinoff topic right. As long as no one can persuade Finn to spill the beans, we’ll have to wait.

Augmented finale on the roll
Season four’s grand finale lasted over two hours. The Duffers predict that the season five finale will be just as long, if not longer. Even so, it’s going to move rapidly. Season five will begin immediately, they say, and the finale will have “eight endings,” as a joke. So, save your date in 2024, for some extra fun.
