According to an anonymous source from inside Netflix, it is alleged that Stranger Things 5 will no longer be coming to Netflix in Summer 2024 like we had anticipated. Let’s give you the rundown on what we know:
Prior to the release of Stranger Things 4, the Duffer Brothers confirmed in February 2022 that Netflix would be renewing the show for a fifth and final season. With the shows overwhelming success, this announcement left fans sad, but also excited that they were finally going to see their favorite characters defeat the creatures of the infamous Upside Down for good. This announcement came out a little over a year ago, but there are now rumors circulating that the show runners have since withdrawn their decision to release the final season that fans have been anticipating since the release of the final two episode of ST4.
The rumors of the cancelled release have been seemingly confirmed by an anonymous source within Netflix this past week. “Although Netflix and the Duffer Brothers have not released the official news, the release of Stranger Things 5 has been cancelled and is not expected to get released or get picked up [by another streaming service] anytime soon.”
Although the Duffer Brothers and Netflix Executives have refused to make any comments at this time regarding the shows cancellation, cast member and fan favorite Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers, had this to say: “It’s really hard to believe… but this is an april fools joke. Did you guys really believe this was real??”
