"I mean I will say we have a good sense of stuff that happens in Season Four. Season Four is definitely happening," Levy told Collider . "There's very much the possibility of a season beyond that one, that’s currently undecided."Stranger Things was renewed for a third season at the end of last year and filming kicked off earlier this week. The first four scripts for the season have been written, with the rest getting written as they shoot.Levy related this approach to the question of whether we'll see a fifth season, saying, "what I would just say is part of the chaos and fun of this particular show is that while the Duffers and the writer’s room and we producers outline the entire season, the Duffers really use the writing process to revisit, reassess and question all of their prior assumption."So even though we always start off with a good sense of the major arcs of the season. We’re always ready for shifts and surprises because if the Duffers stumble into a different or surprising inspiration while they rewrite the script, we’re going to follow that inspiration and throw out some ideas in order to embrace some new ones that are more exciting. And I have no doubt that Season 3 will be no exception."For the most part, his comments indicate the potential for future seasons is predominantly a creative one, rather than solely a business decision.The Stranger Things cast will be joined by Cary Elwes (Kiss the Girls, The Princess Bride) in Season 3, who will play the "sleazy" mayor of Hawkins, and Jake Busey (Freakish) an equally sleazy reporter by all accounts. A premiere date has yet to be announced.You can catch up with everything we know about Season 3 so far right here
