‘Stranger Things’ creators spark hype with surprising confession tease

Stranger Things’ creator, the Duffer brothers, have recently made a huge revelation about the fifth and final season, just a week before its premiere.

In a conversation with The Times, Matt and Ross Duffer confirmed the forthcoming season is "the biggest [the show has] ever been", however, it also might be the most emotional installment too.

Matt revealed, "I would say season 5 is not as violent as season 4, but it has the most violent death of any season.”

“The goal was always to scale up each series with the age of the characters and our audience, but then we keep getting new audiences," Ross noted, "Hopefully, parents don’t get too mad at us.”

Even with an intense finale approaching, the brothers noted that every character had earned an epic concluding moment after appearing on screen for ten years.

“Every character’s ending needed to feel right. That was more important than providing the fans with the ending they’re hoping for,” Matt explained.

It is worth noting that the first volume of the Stranger Things season five is set to release on November 26, 2025.
