The kids are all grown up.
On Wednesday night Stranger Things producers Matt and Ross Duffer took to the stage at the Next on Netflix to tease the upcoming fifth and final season of the series, according to a report on Deadline.
“We spent a full year filming this season. By the end, we’d captured over 650 hours of footage,” Ross Duffer said. “So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet. It’s like eight blockbuster movies.”
“We think it’s our most personal story. It was super intense and emotional to film — for us and for our actors. We’ve been making this show together for almost 10 years,” said Matt Duffer. “There was a lot of crying. There was SO much crying. The show means so much to all of us, and everyone put their hearts and souls into it. And we hope — and believe — that passion will translate to the screen.”
“There are more Stranger Things stories to tell and in the works,” Matt Duffer said. “It’s a bit early at this point to talk about them, but we’re deeply involved in every one — it’s very important to us that everything with the Stranger Things name on it is of the highest quality and not repetitive — that it has a reason to exist and always blazes its own path. And also, it needs to basically just be… awesome. Or we need to think it’s awesome. And there are a lot of what we think are awesome things on the pipeline.”
The final season of Stranger Things is slated to hit Netflix later this year. Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on the final installment of Stranger Things.
