The Duffer Brothers:

"As we sat down to do [Season] 4, we knew that we had to start giving some of these big answers," Ross Duffer told IGN. "And the minute we started giving some of these big answers, it meant that the end had to inevitably be in sight. And so that's what really led to us announcing that the fifth season was going to be the last."

Producer Shawn Levy added:

"Since the day I read this pilot script that no one else wanted, I never once doubted that the brothers had a master plan. And it became clear many, many, many months ago that we needed to end things at a point where we felt confident we could stick the landing, and the brothers see that landing. And there was no point in hiding the endgame from the world. It was a big decision, but it wasn't a hard decision because once the brothers saw the end, they wanted to start marching towards it."

Stranger Things 4 part 1 premieres on Netflix on Friday May 27th.
