Frank Darabont came out of retirement to direct Stranger Things. The Duffers, Matt and Ross, called him up because they were huge fans of his movies like The Shawshank Redemption. He and his wife had already binged the Netflix show multiple times, so he agreed to a meeting. He took over two episodes originally meant for Dan Trachtenberg, who left for a Predator movie.
Darabont directed Episode 3, called The Turnbow Trap, which dropped with the first batch of the final season. His next one is Episode 5, titled Shock Jock, coming with the second volume. This ends the series, with a finale hitting both theaters and the streaming service. The director had been retired on the Central Coast for about ten years after finishing work on Mob City.
