Stranger Things season 5 is now set to bring the show to an end at some point this year.

In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Modine, whose newest project, Zero Day, is now streaming on Netflix, comments on how the Duffer Brothers are approaching Stranger Things season 5. According to the star, the show has been like a "gilded cage" to the Duffer Brothers, who are now ready to put the series in their rearview mirror and bring new stories to life. Check out Modine's comment below:

It's going to be amazing. It's going to be... I mean, the Duffer Brothers are filmmakers, so I think that they wanted Season 1 to be one and done, like Zero Day, just a limited series. By, I don't know, three or four episodes of filming, Netflix saw it as something that was incredible and different than what anybody imagined and expanded into five seasons.

But they want to finish big, and then they want to get on with their lives because they have a lot of stories that they want to tell. This has been a gilded cage in a way that it's a wonderful experience that they're having, but they want to get on with their lives. They want to graduate, they want to graduate and get on with their lives.

What Modine's Comment Means For Stranger Things

The Duffers Have Been Working On Stranger Things For A Long Time

Stranger Things still stands as one of Netflix's most successful original shows of all time. The series launched the Duffers' careers, as well as those of many of the Stranger Things cast . Prior to their breakout Netflix show, the Duffers had relatively little experience in Hollywood. They had written some shorts films, a few episodes of Wayward Pines, and 2015's Hidden was, at the time, their biggest project as writers and directors.

The Duffers have now been working on Stranger Things for 10 years, and it's clear they have ambitions for other stories. The brothers are set to produce The Burroughs and Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen as part of their deal with Netflix, and they likely have new projects they want to write and direct as well. Even though the Duffers may be ready to tackle new projects and new challenges, the Stranger Things season 4 finale sets viewers up for an action-packed and epic final season, and Modine's comment suggests the creators will deliver.

Our Take On Modine's Stranger Things Comments

The Netflix Show Is Wrapping Up At The Right Time

Some shows go on too long and quality starts to dip in later seasons, but, by ending with season 5, Stranger Things can hopefully avoid that. Even though season 4 caught some flack for struggling to balance its large cast, it was still generally very well-received, and this bodes well for season 5. Stranger Things seems to be ending at the right time purely on a storytelling level, but it's evidently also ending at the right time for the Duffers, as they can now move on to new projects.

Stranger Things season 4 enjoys a strong 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Duffers now have a lot of cache as filmmakers, and it will be interesting to see how they wield this in the years ahead. Though the two shows they are executive producing will be interesting to check out, it will be most exciting to see the Duffers actually create a new show, or perhaps even a movie. For now, though, Stranger Things season 5 is certainly one to look forward to.
