Stranger things season five release date

I see a lot of people worried that we won't get the new season till 2026 Because it is halfway through filming only But I do not believe that because They will finish filming by the end of the year since they started in january and Is season four finished eleven months after wrapping and started nine months after But the episodes were a lot longer than previous seasons and it had a extra episode.That was two and a half hours long so post production probably won't be as long I am estimating summer of next yearmaybe spring if They split it up
