The Stars of Stranger Things Open Up About Their Final Season: 'It's Time for It to End'
For Matt and Ross Duffer, the creative minds behind the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, the decision to bring the beloved show to a close after five seasons was not an easy one. In a recent interview, the twin brothers revealed that finishing one of the biggest TV shows of the last decade is proving to be a daunting task.
"It makes me sad," Ross Duffer confessed, "because it's easier not to think about the show actually ending." The pressure to deliver a satisfying conclusion after years of building up the story and characters weighs heavily on their shoulders. However, they are determined to make the most of this final chapter.
The brothers have been open about their love for 80s nostalgia and geek culture, which has been reflected in the show's setting, music, and characters. They drew inspiration from classic sci-fi movies, such as John Carpenter's The Thing, and authors like Stephen King. The result is a unique blend of adventure, mystery, and coming-of-age themes that has captivated audiences worldwide.
As the release date for Stranger Things Season 5 approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating the conclusion of the story. But what does it mean to be "cool" in a show where nerd culture is celebrated? For Matt Duffer, being uncool is actually a strength. "We almost prefer to be uncool," he joked. Ross agreed, saying they're still not cool, despite their influence on popular culture.
The brothers have also shared their excitement about the impact Stranger Things has had on fandom and pop culture. The show's influence can be seen in everything from music (Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill became a viral sensation) to fashion (who else would wear a ghillie suit?). But what does it mean to be part of this cultural phenomenon?
As for the final season, Matt Duffer admitted that he and Ross are still working on the second half. The brothers have always been meticulous about crafting every detail, from dialogue to set design. They've spent months perfecting the ending, which they believe will tie together all the loose ends.
Will fans finally get closure after 10 years of following the gang through Hawkins, Indiana? Matt and Ross Duffer seem determined to deliver a satisfying conclusion that will leave viewers on an emotional high note.
Stranger Things Season 5: Part One is set to release on November 27, followed by three episodes on Boxing Day. Will it be enough to satisfy the cravings of the devoted fan base? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – this final chapter promises to be a thrilling ride that will leave viewers eagerly anticipating what's next for Mike, Will, Dustin, and the rest of the gang.

its been 10 yrs since we first met mike willy dustin lucas and elephant man 
and now they're finally bringing it to a close in s5 part one 
im so hyped but also kinda sad 
matt and ross have been working so hard on this finale and i trust them 100% 
they need to make it perfect for us fangirls 
cant wait to see what they have in store for us on boxing day 
will it be enough to satisfy our cravings? only time will tell but i know it'll be AMAZING 
! i mean, they're not cool lol 
that's what makes them so awesome in my eyes! i'm low-key stressing about the ending but trust me when i say it'll be WORTH IT 
Anyway, I'm excited to see what they've got planned for the finale. The nostalgia is real and it's cool to see them paying homage to classic sci-fi and 80s pop culture 
anyway gotta say the duffer bros are literally the coolest (uncool) creators ever i mean who else gets to make a show that's basically a love letter 2 80s nerd culture? lets just hope they deliver on the finale and give us all the feels (and some major closure) 
. Like, I was just thinking, have you seen those classic sci-fi movies from the 80s? The one with that creepy forest scene? 
From what the Duffer brothers said, they drew inspiration from those very same films! 
.
I mean, who would've thought that a bunch of nerds from Hawkins would become part of pop culture like this? 
) can't wait to see what they have in store for us! 
btw, I still rock that same ghillie suit from seasons 1-3 
and the nostalgia factor is real who wouldn't wanna relive the 80s thru their characters music & movies 
i'm gonna be so invested in season 5 cant wait for that emotional rollercoaster 
. But at the same time, I love that Matt and Ross are being super honest about how hard it is to wrap up a show like this after 5 seasons...I mean, can you blame them? 
And I'm low-key hoping they pull off an epic finale that'll leave us all crying happy tears 
, but at the same time...I kinda wish we didn't have to say goodbye 
As for the final season, I'm so down for some closure after all these years. The Duffer brothers seem like total pros when it comes to wrapping up the storylines and giving fans what they want. Fingers crossed it's not too cheesy or frustratingly slow 
Can't wait to see how Mike, Will, Dustin, and the gang wrap things up! 
, are ghillie suits gonna be back?
The Duffer brothers have done an amazing job bringing all the Easter eggs from 80s sci-fi and horror to life – it's a big part of what makes Stranger Things so special 
... but what really gets me is how they've managed to create a sense of community among fans 
. I mean, who else would be obsessed with a group of kids fighting supernatural monsters in their small town? 
And what's with the pressure to deliver a satisfying conclusion after all these years? It's like they're putting too much stress on themselves 
. I'm sure Matt and Ross will do their best, but I don't think it's fair to expect them to nail it perfectly 
. We'll just have to wait and see how it turns out 
kate bush's running up that hill becoming a viral sensation is EVERYTHING 
I'm literally so excited for Season 5!!! 
so I'm sure they're gonna bring the sass & awesomeness one last time 
Matt and Ross have done an incredible job bringing Hawkins to life, and I'm so grateful they're sticking to their guns on delivering a satisfying finale. Those ghillie suits though... who else would rock that look?
