There have been conflicting reports and statements regarding the longevity of Stranger Things, but the latest update on the future of the Netflix series comes directly from the creators themselves. Or it did, until the THR interview with the Duffer brothers was mysteriously taken down. Thankfully (or regrettably), everything is permanent on the internet, and as TVLine and others have noted, the original report quotes Ross Duffer as saying “Season 4 won’t be the end” of Stranger Things. Production on the fourth season of the Netflix series was halted back in March due to our old pal the COVID-19 pandemic, which apparently gave the Duffer brothers some time to plot out the endgame. “We know what the end is, and we know when it is,” said Ross Duffer. “[The coronavirus pandemic] has given us time to look ahead, figure out what is best for the show. Starting to fill that out gave us a better idea of how long we need to tell that story.”
