Entertainment Now | May 27 - June 2, 2023 By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: When is "Stranger Things" coming back? A: It's a little early for that ques- tion, but since you have, the best estimate is sometime in 2025. Filming of "Stranger Things" Season 5 is starting this spring, but it's a huge, lavish show with com- plicated effects and a big cast, so the turnaround from filming to re- lease will take a while. The big concern this raises is, of course, the age of the cast. The pre- vious four instalments of "Stranger Things" were each set a year apart, even though they aired over seven years. As a result, the age gap be- tween the actors and their suppos- edly teenage characters has grown. When 2025 rolls around, the once-adorable kids will all be in their 20s. But the show's producers have said there will be a more signifi- cant time jump between the fourth and fifth seasons. This will allow the characters to catch up to their actors and will advance the show's plot toward the big finale. Without spoiling Season 4 too much, things end with the show's fictional setting of Hawkins, Ind., under the biggest threat yet from the parallel dimension ("the Up- side Down," in the show's par- lance), and that threat will only grow in the intervening years. Of course, fans' impatience will only grow as well. It's already been almost a year since the final fourth- season episodes dropped. On a side note, if you're really desperate, you can fly over to Lon- don, England, to see a prequel play being staged later this year. "Stranger Things: The First Shad- ow" was written by series writer Kate Trefry, with support for the story from series creators Matt and Ross Duffer. Q: I've noticed Dick Wolf's name pop up in so many things — most recently "Law & Or- der" and the "Chicago One" franchise. Has he done any- thing other than dramas? A: Not with any great success. TV superproducer Dick Wolf dab- bled a little in other genres, partic- ularly back in the '80s when he was just a screenwriter for hire. But he soon found his niche producing procedural crime shows, and he never really looked back. Wolf's earliest credits are cer- tainly his weirdest. He started out as an advertising copy writer with dreams of writing movies, and his first two produced screenplays were a couple of now-forgotten underdog comedies, "Skate- board" (1978) and "Gas" (1981). 4 | Saturday morning 05/27 7 AM 7:30 8 AM 8:30 9 AM 9:30 10 AM 10:30 11 AM 11:30 12 PM 12:30 S1 S2 WTTV 4 CBS Saturday Morning (N) Lucky Dog Innovation (N) Mission (N) Hope-Wild (N) Lucky Dog Did I Mention Paid Programming Paid Programming 4 4 WRTV 6 WRTV Week In Review (N) Good Morning America (N) Good Morning America (N) Retirement Hearts of Heroes Free Enterprise Retirement Vets Saving Pets Hearts of Heroes 6 6 @ WPTA WPTA Saturday Morning News II (N) Good Morning America (N) Good Morning America (N) Wildlife Nation oh baby!
