The OA
Those hoping for some sort of conclusion are apparently going to keep wanting. Being as Netflix produced the series exclusively no other studio can save the series, AND the creators decided that since the original plan was for 5 seasons, a 2 hour wrap-up movie just wouldn’t cut it.

Stranger things
Hopper is still alive? After a little digging on a rumor i heard today, the Duffer Brothers did an interview with EW a couple weeks ago where they reference Hopper’s end in season 3 as his Han Solo sacrifice from Empire. That and it is in David Harbour’s contract that he will be in season 4.
