The Duffer Brothers have confirmed season four 'won't be the end' of their hit Netflix show Stranger Things.

Twins Matt and Ross, both 36, spoke candidly with The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday about the show's future, as they claimed lockdown has 'given them time to look ahead' at what direction they want to take the show in.

Detailing the show's future, Ross explained to the publication: 'Season four won't be the end. We know what the end is, and we know when it is.

'[The pandemic] has given us time to look ahead, figure out what is best for the show. Starting to fill that out gave us a better idea of how long we need to tell that story.'

Matt added: 'We've had a lot more time to work on the scripts. For the first time, we have all the scripts written and we're able to look at it as a whole piece and make adjustments.'

Ross stipulated that the cast and crew would only return when it was safe to do so amid the global pandemic, as safety was their top priority.

It was revealed back in July that the show was expected to go back into production in September in Georgia, although it was confirmed that this could get pushed back.

Season four has yet to reveal a release date, but the shows creators, the Duffer Brothers, have teased episode one's title: The Hellfire Club.

In March, David Harbour, 45, revealed season four was originally supposed to be coming to Netflix in early 2021.
