Despite being introduced in the same season, after Joseph Quinn's Eddie Munson became one of the biggest talking points of Stranger Things' fourth season, fans have been wondering whether the final one will also be adding new characters to the show. Recently the makers of the show, Matt and Ross Duffer spoke about what fans can expect from it. It has been previously confirmed that season 5 of the series will be the end of the popular show Stranger Things.
It seems like the makers are considering not introducing any new characters in the final season, after receiving complaints from several fans, about the main characters of the show such as Jonathan Byers played by Charlie Heaton seemed to have been neglected in the fourth season. Speaking about the same, Ross Duffer told IndieWire, "We’re doing our best to resist [adding new characters] for Season 5. We’re trying not to do that so we can focus on the OG characters, I guess."
In the past, we have seen how the Duffer brothers have introduced new characters every season who have made a strong impact on the happenings of the show and on the hearts of the audience, Sadie Sink’s Max Mayfield appeared in the second season whereas Maya Hawke was introduced as Robin in Stranger Things 3. As for the fourth season, it turned out to be a bittersweet journey as we met Quinn’s Eddie Munson in Volume 1 and had to bid adieu to him in the Volume 2 finale, however, the main characters were neglected still hang as a problem on the writers’ head.
Among other things that have been hinted at about Season 5 so far, the show's creators have also mentioned that the episodes will be shorter than those of the fourth season but the finale will be like a feature film.
