The Duffer Brothers have said that Stranger Things is likely to end after its fourth or fifth season.
In September 2019, the series was renewed for a fourth season, which will premiere in mid-2022.
It has won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, two American Film Institute awards, a Critics' Choice Television Award, and three People's Choice Awards, among others. The series has received multiple awards and nominations including 39 Primetime Emmy Award nominations (and six wins), four Golden Globe Award nominations, a British Academy Television Award nomination, two Directors Guild of America Award nominations, three Writers Guild of America Award nominations, and three Grammy Award nominations. The series has received critical acclaim for its characterization, pacing, atmosphere, acting, soundtrack, directing, writing, and homages to 1980s films. Stranger Things has attracted record viewership on Netflix and has a broad, active and international fan base. They also took inspiration from strange experiments that took place during the Cold War and real world conspiracy theories involving secret government experiments. Setting the series in the 1980s, the Duffer Brothers infused references to the pop culture of that decade while several themes and directorial aspects were inspired primarily by the works of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, and Stephen King, as well as anime and video games. The Duffer Brothers developed the series as a mix of investigative drama alongside supernatural elements portrayed with horror, science fiction and childlike sensibilities. The series stars an ensemble cast including Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Cara Buono and Dacre Montgomery. The third season focuses Eleven and Mike's relationship as the kids continue their battle against the Upside Down entities. The second season focuses on Will's side effects from being in the Upside Down with its entities crawling into the real world. Set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, the first season focuses on the investigation into the disappearance of a young boy ( Will Byers) amid supernatural events occurring around the town, including the appearance of a girl with psychokinetic abilities ( Eleven). The series premiered on Netflix on July 15, 2016. The brothers serve as showrunners and are executive producers along with Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. Either way, we can't wait for the next season of "Squid Game," and will be eagerly awaiting for more details to emerge.Stranger Things is an American science fiction horror drama television series created by the Duffer Brothers and streaming on Netflix. However, actor Lee Jung-jae has been confirmed as returning for Season 2 (via Variety), so Gi-hun will still be playing an integral role in the narrative - perhaps the show's origins will be seen through flashbacks. How did Oh Il-nam (O Yeong-su), then a middle-aged businessman, get so many people on board? How did the games spread to other countries? How are the VIPs selected to spectate the games? How has the operation remained undiscovered all these years?Ī prequel to Season 1 could certainly answer many of these questions. However, it's learning the origins of the terrifying, dystopian image that really piques our interest. We're certainly living in a nostalgia-fueled time of media, with hits like "Stranger Things," and re-imagined reboots of classic hits like "The Wonder Years" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," so a '90s-set "Squid Game" wouldn't be out of place in Hollywood. The dedicated audience of "Squid Game" has taken to the internet to speculate about the show's sophomore season, and some fans have some very interesting ideas of what this next installment could be. After all, every core character but Gi-hun met their brutal fate in Season 1. The upcoming second season was recently confirmed by series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, but it's anyone's guess what the next chapter of the story will entail.
The high-stakes series ended on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, and left audiences wondering–what will happen of Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae)? It's clear the underdog winner of the Squid Game was left scarred by the game's brutality and dead-set on taking down the whole operation. The show's engaging characters, political commentary, and shocking twists made "Squid Game" a global sensation. The South Korean drama became Netflix's shining success story as the streaming giant's biggest-ever series launch (via Variety). It's hard to imagine anyone who hasn't seen even a little bit of "Squid Game" by now.
