Stranger Things is a show that has provided its fans with a lot of excitement for the past four seasons, and the streaming platform with great viewing figures. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end someday, and this also applies to Duffer brothers' production. The upcoming fifth season of the series will be the last one, but the creators do not intend to skimp on the finale of the long-running adventure.

On the occasion of the latest interview with Variety this was assured by one of the series' directors, Dan Trachtenberg. The filmmaker talked about the structure of the upcoming season and promised that it will be different from the one served to viewers by the authors of the final season of Game of Thrones.

"I do not think that Stranger Things followed the path of Game of Thrones, where the first episode is exciting, then the action slows down, and the last two episodes are one big battle."

So it looks like the writers and directors of the latest season of the adventures of the kids from Hawkins plan to serve the viewers the same high level of excitement in all episodes and keep their interest without fail. In a recent conversation, Trachtenberg also revealed that the show's signature musical theme will not change.

Recall that recently regarding the finale of Strager Things was also voiced by David Harbour, who portrays the adoptive father of Eleven. The actor revealed that he knows how the show will end, and that it will be an extremely moving finale. The star also assured that the Duffer brothers, writing the script, have again surpassed themselves, and that in the fifth season we will see things that have never been seen before in a Netflix series.
