'Stranger Things' Rumors: Series May End After Season 5
While it was announced earlier that "Stranger Things" would take a bow after its fourth season, it is now suspected that the popular Netflix series may extend for a fifth season.
"Stranger Things" season 2 is not expected to arrive in a little more than three weeks from now, but it is already a known fact that the original Netflix season will have a third and a fourth season as Netflix renewed it for two more seasons in advance.
While the series' creators, Matt and Ross Duffers had earlier said that they were apprehensive about extending the series beyond four seasons, as it may affect the credibility of its story, "Stranger Things'' producer Shawn Levy has recently hinted in an interview that the series may end after its season 5 after all.

''The truth is we're definitely going four seasons and there's very much the possibility of a fifth. Beyond that, it becomes, I think, very unlikely," Levy said in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Given that the upcoming season 2 of ''Stranger Things'' will feature a one-year time jump from the events in its premiere season, with the soon-to-be-released season being set between 1984 and 1985, it is now speculated that "Stranger Things" will end with a time period featuring the late '80s. However, as it is unclear if the series will maintain its one-year time jump for every season, some suspect that the timeline of the of the series may even extend into the '90s.
As the reason why the Duffer brothers don't want to extend '' Stranger Things'' beyond season 4 is that viewers may find it absurd why the characters still stay in Hawkins despite the strange occurrences in the fictional Indiana town, will ''Stranger Things'' eventually move its setting to another fictional place before the series takes a bow?
Fans can only speculate for now.
Meanwhile, ''Stranger Things'' season 2 begins streaming on Netflix this Oct. 27.
