The Duffer Brothers Update on Release Date Planning

At the recent SCAD TVfest event, the Duffer Brothers shared insights about their upcoming discussions with Netflix regarding the Season 5 release schedule. They also provided fans with an update on the show’s status.

“Currently, we’re focused on editing the visual effects sequences so that they can begin processing in time for a release, ” Matt Duffer stated [via Variety].

“It’s crucial for us and Netflix to have the series out this year, which is a challenging timeline, ” he added. Ross Duffer echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the team’s commitment to a timely completion of the season.

“During Season 4, we were trimming it up to the final moments. We were integrating visual effects just a day after its release! We aim to be more organized this time… But as always, it feels like we’re scaling another mountain toward the final cut, ” Ross mentioned.

Speculation suggests that the fifth season may follow a similar split format as its predecessor, Season 4, potentially maintaining fan engagement over an extended period.
