The Duffer brothers are planning to end “Stranger Things” after the fourth season, but Netflix hasn’t confirmed this yet. Variety reached out to Netflix, and they haven’t released any official statement regarding this matter.
The creators explained that they'd have to eventually send out the kids to college so they can get out of town and they don’t think it’s wise to drag on a sci-fi horror series very long.
Matt said they'd keep adjusting the story, but they’re not sure if they can keep on coming up with reasons why something bad happens to the main characters every year.
Matt and Ross pointed out that they want to push things a bit so fans should expect a huge development in the next installment especially with the introduction of new characters.
To give viewers and fans a look at their vision of the series, the brothers said that they the second season feels like a movie sequel, which is expected to be bigger especially when the first production was a huge success.
