Darabont returns to the helm for the fifth episode – and right here’s what Ross Duffer needed to say about episodes 5, 6, and seven of season 5:
Chapters 5, Six and Seven: locked, blended, scored, coloured… Quantity Two is DONE.
“Shock Jock” picks up moments after the top of “Sorcerer”. Frank Darabont is again, however he flexes very totally different muscle tissue on this one than he did on “Turnbow Trap”— it’s far darker, and much scarier.
“Escape from Camazotz” is Shawn Levy’s return to the director’s chair. It’s the largest episode of the three— and the performances make us cry each time we watch it.
“The Bridge”… we co-directed this one with Shawn. Don’t need to say an excessive amount of, however other than the finale, it’s in all probability essentially the most emotional chapter of the season.
It’s gonna be an extended six day await the finale…
