With production slated to begin soon on the fourth season of Netflix's Stranger Things, fans may be getting more than they expected for the rumored final season.

Netflix and series creators Matt and Ross Duffer are looking to split the fourth season into two halves, according to a report from We Got This Covered.

Sources claim that the original plan was to end the show with the fourth season, and now that fourth season will 'just extend the plot across an additional run.'

The report also claims that Netflix may actually market the second half of the final season as 'Season 5,' though in essence it will be the second half of Season 4 and continue the same story line.

There is no indication as to why the Duffer Brothers are going with this method, though the report speculates it's because they may need more time to bring their beloved series to a fitting ending.

As for the two halves of Season 4, it remains unclear how many episodes each half will be comprised of.

The first season of Stranger Things debuted in July 2016 with an eight-episode first season, which created a huge fan frenzy for the series.

The second season debuted on Halloween in 2017 with a slightly extended nine-episode run, though fans had to wait nearly two years for the third season.

Season 3 debuted on Independence Day in 2019, returning to the eight-episode formula of the first season.

Netflix announced in late September that Stranger Things was renewed for a fourth season, while the Duffer Brothers were signed to a multi-year overall deal with Netflix to create new movies and TV shows.

The streaming service then announced in October that the third season of the hit series was the most-watched in the show's history.

The third season was watched by '64 million member households' in its first four weeks of release.

While little is known about the fourth season, the Stranger Things writers revealed on Stranger Things Day in November that the title for the Season 4 premiere episode will be The Hellfire Club.

Another report in January from Charles Murphy claimed that filming would take place in Lithuania, in some of the same locations where HBO's Chernobyl was filmed.

The fourth season is expected to debut in either late 2020 or early 2021, perhaps over the Christmas holiday season, since the last two seasons fell on holidays like Halloween and Independence Day.
