Stranger Things executive producer Shawn Levy has talked about the en🦩ding of the series – and whether there's a chance for spinoffs.

"I have the end in sight," he told . "The brothers [creators/showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer] have the end in sight. There is a plan and that too will be shared not quite as ♈soon as a sense of when season 4 is coming out, but soon enough. I can say this. No one's making it up as we go along and there is an endgame, if you will."

While that doesn't give much of an indication about how close we are to the finale of Stranger Things, it seems that Levy doesn't mean a permanent ending, because he also talked about the possibility of spi♔noffs from the nostalgic sci-fi show.

"I'd say what's been made clear is this is obviously a tent pole, arguably the tentpole franchise in the history of Netflix," he commented. "Obviously certain other shows played key roles in their evolution, but Stranger Things with 196 million viewers over the time that we've been on the air, that's a lot of households. And it's unique in that Netflix service. What's been made clear is therꦡe is an interest and a real voracious appetite for any offshoot, any otꦕher iteration format or extension of the franchise, the characters, the mythology. And certainly those conversations are hardly evolved, but they're also not non-existent."

So, while it doesn't sound like there are any concrete plans just yet, it does seem that we can maybe expect another project in the future. For now, though, the wait for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things season 4 is ongoing – the pandemic has slowed things down, which means a 2022 release date is look🐲ing likely.

Not much is known about the next series just yet, though 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:four n🌃ew cast members have been ann𝄹ounced, and a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:spoilery set photo suggests Eleven will find herself in some serious trouble.
