Stranger Things Season 5: Ross, Matt Duffer Will 'Do Their Best' Not to Add New Characters

The creators of "Stranger Things" Ross and Matt Duffer will try to keep the number of characters at a minimum, focusing on the existing characters for the fifth and final season.

'Stranger Things' Creators to fFocus on Known Characters for Season 5

The cast of Stranger Things is vast, one aspect most people can agree on. The fourth season struggled to keep everyone amused with the Hawkins family distributed around the country, government and otherworldly forces, and Hopper's party in Russia. Managing so many personalities is challenging, especially when many become quick favorites.

Ross and Matt Duffer, the show's creators, however, want to retain the emphasis on the already established characters for the fifth and final season. The brothers admitted to IndieWire as cited in Gizmodo, that they would try thier utmost to avoid adding new characters. 

The Hawkins children, Hopper and Joyce Byers, who started it all in season one, are presumed to be the orginal characters who will be the center of the final season, according to Matt.

The brothers also highlighted the danger of adding new characters, which sometimes means sacrificing the opportunity for senior cast members to have screen time.

Ross said they always want to be sure that a new character will play a significant role in the narrative. Ross continued by referencing Eddie, a character performed by Joseph Quinn, as an example of how carefully they go through the concept of the casting process when bringing in new talent. The author remarked, "We can't bring someone who will merely take away from our characters if they're not spectacular.

Every time an actor joins the cast, they are aware of the danger of being given a subplot to make them fit in with the rest of the program, said Matt. However, for the most part, the brothers have discovered that the new additions, such as Max from Sadie Sink and Robin from Maya Hawke, have paid off. 

The fact that these actors are so fantastic makes it fun. We mix it up by altering the narrative or introducing a new monster because I like to shake things up.

Joe Keery of 'Stranger Things,' Enters Season Five of 'Fargo'

From Hawkins, Indiana, to "Fargo," Joe Keery will travel for his most recent television job.

One of three performers appearing in the FX anthology's fifth season is a regular of "Stranger Things." The television show, whose filming is scheduled to start in the autumn, has also added Lamorne Morris and Richa Moorjani to its roster.

Along with Juno Temple, Jon Hamm, and Jennifer Jason Leigh from Ted Lasso, the trio completes the ensemble.

Character specifics are few at the time, as is typical with "Fargo." Keery will portray the role of Gator Tillman. As Witt Farr, Morris (New Girl, Woke on Hulu) will be featured. Indira Olmstead is the name of Moorjani's character in "Never Have I Ever."

In keeping with a trend of alternating seasons set in the most recent ten years with those set farther in the past, the fifth season of Noah Hawley's not-true crime anthology is set in 2019. It includes the following logline: "When is an abduction, not a kidnapping, and what if your wife isn't yours?"

FX CEO John Landgraf said last week that the next season would be hilarious. A scenario should balance its sad and comedic aspects, and this one leans more toward the latter. I love it," he said.

"Fargo" was made by Hawley and is partially based on the 1996 Coen brothers movie. Along with Warren Littlefield, Joel and Ethan Coen, Steve Stark of Toluca Pictures, Kim Todd, and Vincent Landay, he acts as showrunner and executive producer. It was produced by MGM Television and FX Productions, with MGM serving as the principal studio.
