Matt and Ross Duffer, the twin directors known as The Duffer Brothers, have pushed to raise the stakes with each season of Stranger Things, a strategy they say is crucial as the series heads into its fifth and final chapter.

The last season of the science fiction series premieres on Nov 26, and will be released in three parts on Netflix.

“We sort of modelled it (Stranger Things) after Game Of Thrones. We like the idea of scaling out or scaling up in sort of the way that movie sequels would,” Matt said.

One of the things that the brothers wanted to take to the next level in the acclaimed series is having bigger visual effects each season.

However, more importantly for them, it is the story and characters that continue to entice audiences.

“People have a real connection to these characters; they've been with us on this journey for 10 years now,” Ross said.
