It\u2019s been over nine years since Stranger Things first premiered on Netflix. And while plenty of jokes have been made about all of the shows that have come and gone since the Hawkins kids first played DnD, there\u2019s no denying the level of excitement for the final episodes of the smash show. And as we approach the first set of final episodes (set for November 26th) of Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers are teasing what we can expect as the series turns Upside Down once more.<\/p>\n
The Duffers recently chatted with Empire<\/a> to hype the final season of Stranger Things, where they hinted at the scope of the final eight episodes. As Matt put it, \u201cNow we\u2019re in the final season, we don\u2019t have to hold anything back.\u201d Adding to this, Ross said, \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to tie everything into a perfect bow, but I think we answer most questions and resolve every arc. It was our intention to write a definitive ending to this story.\u201d<\/p>\n That might sound like a minor disappointment to some as far as the bow comment goes, but then again Hawkins doesn\u2019t seem like the type of town to rid itself of being cursed. In a way, I think how season four ended could have worked as a fitting conclusion\u2026or maybe that\u2019s just how my mind is working since it\u2019s been over three years(!) since \u201cThe Piggyback.\u201d<\/p>\n So what else can we expect from the final episodes of Stranger Things? We already know the runtimes of half of the episodes<\/a>, but the way the Duffers are setting them up, it\u2019s going to be absolutely epic. Russ continued, \u201cWhen we pitched it to Netflix, we genuinely thought the scale was going to be about on par with Season 4,\u201d which Matt confirmed wasn\u2019t exactly the case. Matt added, \u201cEpisode 4 and Episode 8 are just monsters.\u201d Of note, episode four runs an hour and 23 minutes.<\/p>\n It will be a couple of months before we know for sure if the Duffer Brothers shot themselves in the foot with how Stranger Things has been spread out (we\u2019re talking just 42 episodes over the course of nine years when all is said and done!). But as it stands, at least some of the Stranger Things cast is on edge about the final season, with star Finn Wolfhard a bit worried<\/a> considering how another once-beloved show, Game of Thrones, got ripped for how it ended.<\/p>\n After the first four episodes of the final season of Stranger Things debut the day before Thanksgiving, the next three will arrive on Christmas and the finale, \u201cThe Rightside Up,\u201d on December 31st.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been over nine years since Stranger Things first premiered on Netflix.
