Season 1 & 2 Director Of "THE WALKING DEAD" Frank Darabont Rumored To Direct Episodes For "STRANGER THINGS" Season 5
The fifth and final season of Netflix’s smash hit, STRANGER THINGS is gearing up for production to start and this evening we have some news regarding just who might be involved in directing some of the seasons episodes.
According to a new update from Jeff Sneider, former The Walking Dead executive producer Frank Darabont is in talks to direct two episodes of Season 5 of Stranger Things.
Darabont's work also includes hit films like The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, as well as the television series Mob City. While nothing is confirmed, the prospect of Darabont joining the ending of Stranger Things will surely delight genre fans.
WHAT’S IN STORE FOR SEASON FIVE OF STRANGER THINGS?
An official plot synopsis for Stranger Things' fifth and final season has yet to be released, although we do know it will be delivering a blockbuster-style epic, and a proper sendoff for the show's ensemble cast of characters.
"Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons," the Duffers shared in a statement last year when the final season was announced. "It proved too large to tell in four, but -- as you'll soon see for yourselves -- we are now hurtling toward our finale. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; Season 5 will be the last. There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things; new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes. But first we hope that you stay with us as we finish this tale of a powerful girl named Eleven and her brave friends, of a broke police chief and a ferocious mom, of a small town called Hawkins and an alternate dimension known only as the Upside Down. As always, we are grateful for your patience and support. Over and out, Matt and Ross."
We do know that a few spinoff’s for the series are in the works as well. In the meantime, are you excited for the possibility of Frank Darabont directing a few episodes of season 5 of Stranger Things? Let us know in the comments.
