‘Stranger Things’: Everything we know about the spin-off of the Netflix series

Gaten Matarazzo, the actor who plays Dustin Henderson in ‘Stranger Things’, said last 2021 open to the idea of ​​a spin-off, something that has been rumored and that fans have welcomed as an excellent way to continue the franchise. Rumors that have been read online have focused on the idea of ​​a plot that would feature Dustin alongside Steve (Joe Keery), something that the actor himself admits is attractive, although it is unlikely to be a complete and long-running series. Instead, the actor suggested, it could be a self-contained story that could unfold over the course of a handful of episodes. Speaking in a past interview, Matarazzo can’t help but be asked a million-dollar question about the series:

“I think a Dustin-Steve spinoff would be nice if it was in a weird niche format. Like they don’t put on a whole showMatarazzo told ET Online. “… like something like ‘WandaVision’ or like a web series on YouTube, where there are weekly episodes of little stories that they get involved in from time to time, like a parody show. That would be great. Breaking that format… I don’t know if a spinoff of the full Dustin and Steve series is sustainable. What are they going to do for a whole season, just them?”

However, it seems that for now neither Steve nor Dustin will have their long-awaited spin-off. In full broadcast of season 4 of the series, when we added Vecna ​​to the list of monsters of ‘Stranger Things’, we talked about the theory that would bring Eddie back or the fatal fate of Max in the final season, the Duffers have confirmed a spin-offbut with nuances.

‘Stranger Things’ spin-off: Release date

The series has just been announced as part of the Duffers’ planned projects at their newly founded production company. It is hard for us to imagine that it will arrive soon. We shouldn’t expect it before the end of ‘Stranger Things’, which if all goes well will be out in 2024. What’s more, if the Duffers focus on the also-announced ‘Death Note’ series earlier, we can expect this spin-off to be late. much more to come. Beyond the Duffers as creators, the signing of any screenwriter has not been announced, nor has it been stated that they have already written a chapter, season and treatment. I mean, we can sit and wait.

‘Stranger Things’ spin-off: Plot

The Duffer Brothers have revealed very little about this spin-off and what they have done makes us venture that it will be a close spin-off. Like the series ‘Fargo’ with its movie, this new series by the Duffers on Netflix will take place in the same world as ‘Stranger Things’ but will not have plots related to the original series or repeat any characters. We can also forget about Hawkins. We do not know, however, if it will focus on other fantastic events or continue to expand the mythology of the Upside Down. Nor if it will take place in the 80s or travel to the past or future of the original series.

‘Stranger Things’ spinoff: Cast and crew

Although there is still a long way to go to meet the cast, what little we know about the spin-off comes from the team.

The series is based on an original idea by the Duffer Brothers, just like ‘Stranger Things’. It will be produced by Upside Down Pictures, the production company that both have just created for their projects. To develop this series will have the producers Sonia Friedman and Stephen Daldry (‘The Crown’) and Netflix. They have also announced that Daldry will direct, although not how many chapters. It is unknown if Shawn Levy, executive producer of ‘Stranger Things’ and the main director of it, will sit in the directing chair.

‘Stranger Things’ spin off: Trailer and images

It is still too early to expect images or previews of this spin-off since we don’t even know the title yet. As soon as filming begins, the first images may arrive. Everything that appears you will find it here.
