do you think this show will only have 6 seasons or less?
do you think this show will end with season 6 or less
I think this show would be pushing it at 5 but yeah or could it end with 1989?
Good god, I hope it doesn't last past Season 4. What more can they do? I mean, I love the show. But, I'd hate to see it go to crap via the Lost effect. That show was completely ruined by greed.
shareAnother poster who seems very knowledgeable about this show mentioned that the creators have most of it planned out, or at least the major milestones. I'm very skeptical because I also read that they [spoiler]originally planned to have Eleven killed off at the end of S1[/spoiler]. To change something that major tells me they are already halfway to the dreaded Lost effect.
Here is the full article I'm referencing (spoilers):

Yes, that was their plan if season 1 had been a limited series/standalone 8-hour movie. That plan I believe was changed by the time the show was officially picked up by Netflix. So they working as they go in the sense that season 1 was all they had initially, but I do think since then they have ideas in terms of where an endgame would be, which some of the cast like David Harbour have alluded to.
shareI'm sure the Lost people had "ideas of where an endgame would be" also, but that's very different from executing it.
Look, I can't blame them at all for cashing in. Success in the entertainment world is a fleeting thing and you have to strike while the iron is hot sometimes. But I already saw evidence of unhealthy stretching in Season 2, so it concerns me when they say things like "Everything changes as we move forward so we’ll see” (Ross Duffer).
See, I actually felt in season 2 like not enough time was spent on some of the ideas they had built rather than stretching ideas out. I'm going to reserve on what their supposed future plans are, but if it's anything like episode 7 it's not going to be my thing.
