According to the site, "the original plan was to make season four the last, [but] they’ve now decided to just extend the plot across an additional run. The second part, we’re told, may be marketed as season five, but it’ll essentially be the second half of season four". Mille Bobby Brown has recently revealed that filming for the new season is imminent. Answering a fan's question on Instagram, she said that filming will begin "early this year for sure," adding that she was "[very] excited".
