The filmmaker duo revealed that the spin-off would be “1,000% different” from the main series. The biggest link would be the “storytelling sensibility”, not the main characters.

“We hope to find the right person to pass the baton as we do new things. We’re really excited about the idea of ​​the spin-off.”
