Lately, Shawn Levy has been in a bit of a pickle during interviews. With two of his biggest projects on the horizon, he has been bombarded with questions he just can not answer. Stranger Things season 5 is currently in the works and nearing the end of filming. As the highly anticipated Netflix series wraps up its last scenes, Levy was hit with questions about his role in bringing the showdown to life. 

In a recent chat with Collider’s Steve Weintraub at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, the filmmaker got hit with a question about which episode he would be directing in the next season, after wrapping up Deadpool & Wolverine. Levy stumbled over his words, unsure if he was allowed to share such details. However, he did drop a hint, saying, “You can do the math” given his hectic schedule and the show's timeline. He hinted that while he typically directs the 3rd and 4th episodes, this time around things might change. 

Levy confirmed that he would be taking on a “later episode,” urging the interviewer to inquire if he would also be handling the finale. In response, the director simply said, “That's all Duffer's, as it should be”. The same line of questioning was fired at Levy by Entertainment Tonight at CinemaCon about Deadpool & Wolverine, where the filmmaker managed to sidestep the tricky interview. Nonetheless, this Stranger Things revelation made fans' imaginations run wild again.

Fans took to X to speculate which episode Shawn Levy would likely direct in the upcoming season. 

Last year, Stranger Things bigwig Shawn Levy revealed that he would be making a comeback to direct at least one episode of the fifth and final season of the Netflix megahit. He told Collider back then that his comeback would be a nod to his tight bond with show co-creators, Matt and Ross Duffer. But now everyone is dying to know which episode it will be. 

Some fans have their fingers crossed for more Will Byers and Mike Wheeler dynamics in Shawn Levy's episode. Meanwhile, there is a group wishing for more Sadie Sink moments in that episode.

Given Levy's track record of delivering iconic episodes, fans' expectations shot through the roof. 

As Stranger Things Season 5 wraps up the Emmy Award-winning series, fans are left in the dark about when they will get to binge-watch it. Nonetheless, all signs point to it being an absolute masterpiece.
