“Stranger Things 5” Will Likely Feature a Time Jump, the Duffer Brothers Tease
After the final two episodes of “Stranger Things 4” premiere on July 1st, only one more season of the Netflix series will be made, with “Stranger Things 5” set to be the FINAL season.
With the young cast getting older but their characters in the series staying around the same age, it was inevitable at some point that a time jump was going to have to happen. And it looks like “Stranger Things 5” will indeed jump into the future, the creators tease.
“I’m sure we will do a time jump,” Ross Duffer tells TV Line in a new interview. “Ideally, we’d have shot [Seasons 4 and 5] back to back, but there was just no feasible way to do that.”
Matt Duffer tells the site, “I’m not sure we’re ready to say yet a start date for shooting [Season 5]. But a lot of it is pretty well mapped out.” Matt Duffer continues, “The ending is the hard thing. That’s obviously the stressful thing. We really want to stick the landing.”
While “Stranger Things 5” will be the final season of the main series, that doesn’t mean spinoff projects are off the table. In fact, there’s a good chance they won’t be too far behind.

A lonely Carrie White seeks friendship and answers in the first teaser for Carrie, a brand new adaptation of Stephen King’s classic story from horror master Mike Flanagan.
Along with the new teaser comes the announcement that the eight-episode limited series premieres on Prime Video on October 7.
The series follows misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Summer H. Howell), who has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.
Carrie is written and executive produced by showrunner Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House) with Flanagan also directing four episodes.
Stephen King also serves as executive producer.
Also starring in the series are Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, Josie Tota as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
Each of the show’s episodes will apparently open with the introduction of “a different, unique story of a different woman, somewhere else in the world and in time, coming to terms with their own abilities.” Flanagan teased, “Carrie’s specific place among that group of women is part of the real joy that we get to discover over the course of the season.”
Expect Flanagan to expand King’s story in unexpected ways, using a modern lens.
