Shawn Levy has promised the end of Stranger Things will be "as good as any TV series finale" anyone has ever seen.

The executive producer has teased that not only will fans be happy by the way the Netflix drama ends after five seasons, but they'll be particularly pleased to know that the ongoing long triangle between Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer), Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) and Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) will finally be resolved.

In a conversation with PEOPLE magazine, Shawn was asked what fans should expect to which he replied, “A finale that's as good as any TV series finale I've seen in my life, and a resolution to the whole Jancy Stancy controversy/triangle.”

He also believes the key to the programme's success is the balance between "epic cinematic storytelling" and the everyday drama of the characters.

“There's so much talk about the '80s and the monsters and the music, but I think the secret sauce is the fact that it's epic cinematic storytelling with very intimate character stories,” Shawn said.

“It's the combination of the huge and the very small and personal that I think is the magic,” he added.

The 57-year-old filmmaker admitted shooting the final season of the programme had been full of mixed emotions.

“I guess there was this umbrella of bittersweet that sort of was across the whole shoot because we knew how special this was,” he recalled.

“We knew that these connections are forever, but we knew it was coming to a close. And so that sort of smile with tears in your eyes, that feeling was very prevalent all year long,” Shawn Levy elaborated.
