The Quiz: Will there be a Season 5 of Stranger Things?
While it’s hard to theorize without knowing what happens in the season 4 finale (and who makes it out alive), the Duffers did tell TVLine that a time jump will happen, and is pretty much unavoidable.
“I’m sure we will do a time jump,” Ross Duffer told the outlet. “Ideally, we’d have shot [Seasons 4 and 5] back to back, but there was just no feasible way to do that. So these are all discussions we’re going to have with our writers when we start the room up.”

The time jump makes a lot of sense, considering that some of the once-child actors already look way older that high-school freshman (looking at you, Will and Lucas). We can’t imagine the characters moving to college age (imagine them even more split up!), so they’ll probably fast forward to senior year.
