Stranger things is approaching its end. The cast led by Millie Bobby Brown and Winona Ryder has already met in Georgia before Christmas for script readings and, once the holidays are over, Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators, will begin filming the episodes that will conclude the Hawkins story. Before blurting out “action!” for the last time (and despite the secrecy surrounding the production), however, the creators wanted to rule out the vaguest fan theory.

The statements, reported by Metro, took place on the red carpet of the Phoenix theater in London's West End, where the play Stranger things: The first shadow premiered. Yes, perhaps Netflix is preparing spin-offs of Wednesday and Peaky Blinders to expand the most popular franchises, The Squid Game has a reality competition associated with it, but Stranger Things, for now, has a play set in Hawkins in 1959, telling the origins of the town that hides so many mysteries.
The fifth season, whose premiere is scheduled for the end of 2024 or directly 2025, will begin filming this January with the Duffer brothers as showrunners, who will have the collaboration as directors of Shawn Levy, also an executive producer, and Dan Trachtenberg, who He has almost cult status as a science fiction director for his taut work on 10 Cloverfield Lane.
The main cast members are expected to return after substantial salary increases, making them the highest paid ensemble cast on television, with the addition of a key actress from the eighties and nineties such as Linda Hamilton, known as Sarah Connor from Terminator.
