Show creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer have announced that the famous OTT show ‘Stranger Things’ will conclude with its fifth season. The showmakers wrote an open letter to the devoted fans and followers of the show, revealing that the upcoming fourth season will be split into two parts.
Both of them also added that the first instalment of the fourth season will premiere on May 27 on the streaming platform, followed by the second instalment on July 1.
The Duffer brothers shared an official letter on the show’s official Twitter handle. The letter read, “Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. 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 soon see for yourselves we are now hurtling toward our finale. Season four will be the penultimate season; season five will be the last.”
