Stranger Things will reportedly end after a two-part fourth season
One more run was the alleged original plan, but it is now rumoured the final storyline will be spread across two batches of episodes
Stranger Things is set to come to an end after a final fourth season, which will reportedly be split into two parts.
According to We Got This Covered, the original plan had been for just one more run of the show, but the plot will now continue across two separate batches of episodes.
This would see the series follow the route taken by another enduring Netflix show, BoJack Horseman, which ended last month after a two-part final season.
No mention has been made of how many episodes each part will consist of, indeed, the second part could even be marketed as a separate season 5.
The hit sci-fi drama – which first aired in 2016 – is one of the streaming platform’s most successful original shows, with last summer’s third season claiming the title of the most watched Netflix original series to date.
