Stranger Things executive producer Shawn Levy shares his insight about the fifth and final season while giving new updates.

How Far Is &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; 5? Director Shawn Levy Lands Exciting Updates for the Final Hawkins Showdown

Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/]season 5 is
undoubtedly one of the most awaited releases on Netflix. The sci-fi series has
sustained its global phenomenon status from season to season because of its
loyal fandom. Sadly, fans lately have been on the edge because of the constant
delay in the shooting of the last season. Though they have tried to keep
themselves busy with speculations about the turnout of events in the final
showdown, the time frame of the upcoming season’s release remains a mystery.

Putting some balm to that burning question, Shawn Levy rolled out a new
statement. The producer has some exciting updates for fans who have been waiting
patiently.


STRANGER THINGS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER DROPS NEW UPDATES

Shawn Levy sat down with Wired
[https://www.wired.com/story/shawn-levy-deadpool-3-stranger-things-star-wars-netflix/]
for an extensive interview talking about his current project on 31 October. He
touched on the constant delay of his acclaimed show Stranger Things and how far
along was season 5. The filmmaker said the scripts of the final season were not
complete when the WGA strike started. The shooting was also about to begin in
June, but the strike has halted and the team has been on “hot standby” since
then.

He then added, “it’s killing us, because these fucking kids, they will not slow
down the aging process”. No matter how hard they try, it would not stop and even
AI cannot change that, said Levy. According to him, technology can contain it on
the screen only, but in real life, it was impossible because it was just a
natural process of human life.

This news has only come days after the 55-year-old addressed the age issue of
the cast members and promised fans they would try their best to hide it.
Meanwhile, in another new interview, the executive producer had teased what
viewers can expect from the finale of their beloved show and it only involves
tears.


SHAWN LEVY ALERTS FANS TO GET READY FOR A TEARFUL FINALE 

In his latest interview with Radio Times, Shawn Levy spilled beans on the
character plotlines that season 5 will follow. Though he did not reveal
anything, he did say Noah Schnapp will share “juicy details” when the time
comes. Also, when the outlet asked him if there would be any tears, he made an
astounding remark.

“Big tears, lots of them,” said the Canadian director. So fans have to be a
little more patient to say goodbye to their beloved show. Until then, viewers
can watch his new show All The Light We Cannot See. The miniseries has finally
arrived on Netflix and is based on Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel
of the same name.
