“Stranger Things” season 4 is coming to Netflix, and executive producer Shawn Levy confirmed that the drama is underway. Although the streaming site has yet to make an official announcement, the EP said that the fourth installment of the series is definitely returning.

While it is good news that fans will still see “Stranger Things” season 4, the bad news is that it could be the last. In an interview with creators Matt and Ross Duffer when the series debuted, they mentioned that their original plan is to make just four seasons.

The 4-year plan revealed

The show’s creators revealed that when they were still planning the series, they have already decided that they will go until the fourth season thus “Stranger Things” season 4 could be the last. They added that the characters would also have aged through the years so they have to adjust their story for every chapter and they think they can keep doing this just for four installments.

"We're thinking it will be a four-season thing and then out," Ross told Vulture. "We just have to keep adjusting the story, though I don't know if we can justify something bad happening to them once a year," Matt added.

Plot
