Series creator Zack Estrin announced in 2020 that its third season would be the last in the series, per PopCulture.com. Estrin said that he always envisioned the series to only be "a three-part family adventure with a beginning, middle, and end."
Stranger Things
Netflix's original drama-thriller series can be described as a love letter to the 80s. It is like the greatest TV series Stephen King and Steven Spielberg never worked on together - praise the TV series lives up to.
The series features the story of a small town that slowly uncovers a mystery involving secret government experiments, supernatural forces, and one strange little girl, per Netflix's synopsis of the TV series. It currently has three seasons, with a fourth and fifth planned in the immediate future.
Devs

According to Tech Advisor, the series is set around 350 years into the future, where death is a thing of the past for most due to humanity developing the ability to transfer their consciousness to "stacks."
The series consists of eight episodes, which you could probably binge for quite some time.
The IT Crowd
