Ted Sarandos on Stranger Things Season 5

Earlier this year, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that the upcoming season is going to be incredible. "There won’t be a dry eye. I do know how it ends.”

“I think Stranger Things is a big universe. You see it in novelizations of the story and the characters, you see it in consumer products, you see it in the live stage show, which is a prequel to Stranger Things, which is playing hugely successfully on the West End now, and it’s going to be opening on Broadway in a few months,” he added.
