Stranger Things: Creators have ‘totally different’ idea for spin-off

Matt and Ross Duffer aim to create new characters to expand The Upside Down

Stranger Things (2016) is a success of the Netflix since launch, so it’s not shocking to learn that Matt and Ross Duffer are already thinking about series or derivative films. However, the brothers duffer has “very different” ideas for expanding the Upside Down.

on the podcast Happy Sad Confusedthe series’ creators cleared up rumors about entirely character-centric prequels such as Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) or Steve (Joe Keery) and even talked about the plot possibilities for the spin-off.

That’s not interesting to me because we’ve already done all that. We spent I don’t know how many hours exploring all this. So it’s very different.

The filmmaking duo revealed that the spin-off will be “1000% different” from the main series, and the biggest link between Stranger Things and the derivative production will be the “storytelling sensibility” and not the main characters.

We hope to find the right person to pass the baton while we do new things. We’re really excited about the spinoff idea.

Finally, they commented that not even the Netflix is aware of the direction that the Upside Down of production could take in the next sequels.

When does Stranger Things season 5 premiere?

according to the brothers duffer revealed to Variety (via Marie Claire), last season’s plot is ready. According to the producers, a three-year hiatus for the most recent episodes happened due to the covid-19 pandemic, but the plan is to shorten this interval for the next chapters.

“There was a six-month hiatus during the pandemic when we envisioned season five and sent it to Netflix. The range should be much smaller this time, because we have the initial idea,” they said.

Despite the optimism, audiences should wait at least a year for the fifth season to premiere, as the team was 100% focused on finishing the fourth by the end of May this year. The four seasons of Stranger Things are already available on Netflix.
