Netflix today said smash hit Stranger Things will wrap after five seasons, while also announcing the upcoming fourth season of the show will be seen in two parts. It’s not uncommon for networks and platforms to split seasons, but usually, there are four, six or eight months between halves. But with Stranger Things, the two “volumes” of season four will drop on May 27 and July 1, just five weeks apart. This isn’t the move to a weekly cadence so many Netflix skeptics believe is necessary to keep subscribers from churning out — but it’s definitely a slight adjustment to the binge model for Netflix.
