Stranger Things season 5: Why no Comic-Con panel with the cast?
(Given what happened with Max, pictured above, at the end of season 4, that’s a pretty big deal.)

When you consider the genres at play with Stranger Things and the enormous popularity of the series as a whole, it feels like a no-brainer that it would be at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. However, that’s not happening … or at least in a way that you would expect. Rather than being a full panel featuring the cast and producers, there was a panel earlier today hosted by Random House books about some of the books based on the show. That was a great thing for diehard fans, but probably not what the mainstream audience was expecting.
So why didn’t we get a panel this year with the cast? A lot of it has to do with timing. Since season 4 already aired on Netflix, there is no reason to promote it further. It’s also expensive to get a cast to San Diego and also rent out a massive convention hall, so we’re sure that this also played a role in all of this. Then, you add to all of this the fact that the cast has already been a long promotional tour for the past few months and need some sort of a break.
Depending on when season 5 premieres and/or the specific filming window, there is always a chance to see the cast back down the road. We’ll just have to wait and see when it comes to that.
