While the filmmakers are keeping their plans top secret for now, the season four finale looks towards a final season that promises more chaos, drama, and monsters than ever before. Fans can expect plenty of excitement in the world of “Stranger Things” as the show prepares for its highly anticipated final season.

“Whenever we introduce a new character, we want to make sure that they’re going to be an integral part of the narrative. . . . But every time we do that, we’re nervous because you go, ‘We’ve got a great cast of characters here, and actors, and any moment we’re spending with a new character, we’re taking time away from one of the other actors.’ So we’re just very, very careful about who we’re introducing.”
