Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy has revealed that the show’s fifth and final season will expand the already-mammoth scale of season four.
“There’s no way to be contiguous with season four, and not, frankly, expand scale and depth,” he said in a new interview with Total Film magazine.

“I mean, the set pieces and the things in the scripts that we saw are bigger than anything we’ve done in the past.”
Stranger Things seasons 1-4 are now streaming worldwide on Netflix.
