More than three years have passed since the Season 4 of Stranger Things hit Netflix and more than six years since the arrival of the season 3. Very expected Season 5 "Stranger Things" will be published in three parts Later this year, the first four episodes arrived on November 26, the next three on December 25, and the last episode of December 31. With nine episodes in Season 4, which will eventually come out at just 17 episodes over six and a half years, which is an average of less than three episodes a year.

It is the kind of mind schedule, along with the rare cultural zeigeist around the show, which builds impossible expectations. So, maybe it's no surprise that a new report from Kim's masters Again He claims that the last season's budget is between $ 50-60 million per episode.

Even in the wake of the wars in streaming, when various companies threw money to the creatives to build their exclusive libraries as soon as possible and loudly, that number will turn their heads. If true, it will put Stranger Things Season 5 at the top of the mountain for the most expensive TV seasons ever, along with the "Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" and its $ 58 million at the price of the episode for its first season.

Remember, the Stranger Things Season 4 is already there with a $ 30 million budget of episode. However, assuming they are correct, the numbers reported by again will swell it from the water for the grand finale.

Only a small number of TV seasons have ever passed $ 25 million per episode, let alone $ 50 million. And most of them were part of Marvel's film universe or the franchise "War of Starwells" during the spending of Blitz on the early Disney+ years. Now, with righteousness, Stranger Things has entered a slightly different category in Season 4, when its episodes began to ballon despite the 45-60 minutes you usually see for scripted shows. Indeed, the shortest episode of that season was still 63 minutes, while the final was Gargiganan for two and a half hours.

According to the same report from the other, those types of chapters in length will be the norm once again in season 5, with episodes coming from 90 minutes to two hours. During the seasonal production cycle, both members of the show and the creators of Stranger Things Matt and Ross compared individual episodes to the films, so mass budgets are currently reporting a little easier to swallow when you know that all that money is over.

Even so, it's a huge budget, and is investing even more pressure on one of the most anticipated finals in the series Because Game of Thrones ended in 2019.

Long delays in production, growing cinematic ambitions and now intensified production costs have high pressure on the 5th Stranger Things season. Although Netflix has had many hits since the show for the first time in 2016 (from Squid Game and Arcane to Briggerton and Cobra Kai), the retro-scientific series for Horror has been a brand of the stream, for nearly a decade. It is the closest thing Netflix has Game of Thrones or "Starwell War"-the original IP created in the house that caused its own wave of cultural influence and gave the company level of legitimacy as a provider of the original media.

That legacy will come to the head with the upcoming final in the series, and while Netflix may not be in the habit of using huge budgets these days, it makes sense that it will still pass as much as possible to send Darling. Duffer brothers recently signed a four -year contract with ParamountTaking them away from Netflix after a long -term partnership. Regardless, Netflix plans to continue expanding the brand "Stranger Things", with several spin-off projects in the works. And we all know how bad it is last season of the show's inheritance.
