Stranger Things Season 5 Expected to Debut in 2025
The fifth and final season of Stranger Things is generating a lot of anticipation among fans. Filming has finally begun, and one particularly exciting piece of news is that director Frank Darabont, known for iconic films like The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, has signed on to direct some episodes.
The Golden Globe-nominated director last worked in 2013, and now he’s returning for Stranger Things
Darabont revealed that his decision to return to work was motivated by his passion for Stranger Things and a desire to contribute to a series that he and his wife deeply enjoy. The director reportedly said, “What really pulled me out of retirement was the fact that my wife and I love this show so much. Our content now is so full of horrible people doing horrible things for greedy reasons, but Stranger Things has so much heart.”
Darabont’s involvement adds to an already stellar cast and a storyline that will have to answer a lot of questions. The director has a renowned career in film and television, having also directed episodes of The Walking Dead. However, his last television work was in 2013, when he directed the series Mob City. This new collaboration with Stranger Things could mark a significant return for Darabont, bringing his fans closer to the TV series.
