JAKARTA - Frank Darabont ended his retirement in 11 years by returning to the directorial seat. He is confirmed to direct two episodes of the Stranger Things series which are entering its fifth season.

Frank Darabont is the director who directed several films and series such as The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Mist.

When asked the reason, Darabont said that the success of the series made him interested in returning to being a director.

"What caught me from retirement was my wife and I really liked this series," Frank Darabont quoted The Daily Beast as saying.

Our content is now filled with many bad people who do bad things for selfish reasons but Stranger Things have a big heart. A positive feeling is something I respond to," he said.

Darabont last directed the film The Mist which was adapted from Stephen King's 2007 story, but the director's credit was included in the Mob City series in 2013.

Frank Darabont is also open to the opportunity to become a director again after the Stranger Things 5 series was released.

"Who knows? I don't miss my business yet but I miss being at the location with creative people. Maybe one and another but we still have time," said Darabont.

The production of the Stranger Things 5 series was carried out in Atlanta and is planned to be released on Netflix in 2025. This fifth season is also the last part of the story.

On the other hand, David Harbour leaked how creators ended the series.

"I know how we ended it and it was very touching. The script, the production set we saw is bigger than what we've been working on before," said David Harbour, one of the cast of the series.
