Sink also revealed that she’s yet to see any footage from the show’s fifth and final season.
“I haven’t seen anything from it yet,” she told the same outlet. “I’ve very curious though.
“It’s going to be super emotional so I’m ready to cry with everyone.”
When is Stranger Things season 5 released?
Season 5 is set for release later this year. However, a concrete debut date has yet to be confirmed by Netflix.
Recent weeks have seen rumor mills swirl surrounding leaked information. This suggests that the show will land on the streamer in October with its first batch of episodes. The concluding part could be set to debut a short while later.
Fans weren’t too happy at this idea. While season 4 experienced a similar episode split, that decision was reportedly made to give series creators The Duffer Brothers more time to improve VFX sequences.
With fans seeing no such reason this time around, a split could be seen as a tactic used by Netflix to keep people subscribed for longer.
Despite all this speculation, it’s important to note that Netflix hasn’t released an official statement regarding Stranger Things season 5’s release strategy just yet.
What is the plot of the show’s final season?
We don’t know too many specifics regarding plot. However, it’s expected to tie up any loose ends surrounding the eerie events in Hawkins, Indiana.
Episode titles were unveiled on Stranger Things Day 2024. This happens annually on 6 November which is the same date that Noah Schnapp’s Will Byers disappeared into the Upside Down in the show’s first season.
The names of each upcoming episode are The Crawl, The Vanishing of [blurred out], The Turnbow Trap, Scorcher, Shock Jock, Escape from Camazotz, The Bridge and Rightside Up.
Elsewhere, it is expected that Holly Wheeler will play a larger role in the Duffers’ final batch of episodes, with newcomer Nell Fisher inheriting the role from twins Anniston and Tinsley Price.
