With season 4 finale wrapping up January 27, fans have been on the lookout for any news that pops up about the show, be it filming or the DVD bonus scenes coming out this May.

'Droughtlander' tends lasts for a year or less, but this year, the speculation is that season 5 will come out late, which means early 2020. Fans may point out the renewal for season 5 came way early, even before season 4's premiere, then why is there a delay?
