Get ready for the ultimate conclusion to the beloved Stranger Things saga! After nine long years and countless adventures, the Hawkins crew is gearing up for their final hurrah. But here's the kicker: the Duffer Brothers promise a definitive ending that will leave no stone unturned.
In a recent chat with Empire, the Duffers teased the scope of the final eight episodes, with Matt declaring, "Now we're in the final season, we don't hold back." Ross added, "We aimed to answer most questions and resolve every arc. It's our definitive ending to this story."
Some might find this a bit underwhelming, but with Hawkins' mysterious nature, it's hard to imagine a true escape from the curse. Season four's ending could've been a fitting conclusion, but three years later, our minds are eager for more!
The Duffers assure us that the final episodes will be epic, with Russ revealing, "We pitched it to Netflix as on par with Season 4." Matt confirmed that episodes 4 and 8 are absolute monsters, with episode four clocking in at a whopping hour and 23 minutes!
While we wait to see if the Duffer Brothers' ambitious vision pays off, some of the Stranger Things cast, like Finn Wolfhard, are feeling the pressure. With the shadow of Game of Thrones' controversial ending looming, the stakes are high.
The first four episodes of the final season will drop the day before Thanksgiving, followed by three more on Christmas, and the grand finale, "The Rightside Up," on New Year's Eve.
And this is the part most people miss: the true impact of this definitive ending. Will it satisfy the fans' thirst for closure, or will it leave us wanting more? Only time will tell.
So, what do you think? Are you ready for the ultimate Stranger Things send-off? Or do you think the Duffers should've left well enough alone? Let's discuss in the comments!
