While we don’t have all the deets yet on what’s brewing for our Hawkin’s heroes - old and new - here’s what we know so far about the Stranger Things spin-off, including cast, plot, premiere, and breaking news. The streamer took to Twitter to announce, “The Duffer Brothers have formed Upside Down Pictures, a new production company through which they will develop film and television projects as part of their overall deal with Netflix.” Named after the Stranger Things alternate dimension, the production company was revealed to be working on a Duffer Brother original ST spin-off, but also, “A new stage play set within the world and mythology of Stranger Things.”

However, the pair did give us some hope that it won’t truly be the end, writing, “There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes.”įinally, in July 2022, Netflix somewhat confirmed the good news. Then, in February 2022, Matt and Ross Duffer - a.k.a the masterminds behind Stanger Things - shared that season 5 will be the final season (😥) of the beloved show. According to Deadline, Sarandos said, “Franchises are good, but what you want are hits.” The media outlet claimed he hinted at “spin-offs” and that the series is a “franchise being born.” The first sign that Netflix aimed to expand upon the hit series came in September 2021, when the streamer’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos teased plans for Stranger Thingsduring the Code Conference.

But even before the latest installment of the ’80s sci-fi show proved to be a success, Netflix hinted that Stranger Things would continue into a spin-off series. Stranger Things season 4 ( Volume 2, especially!) definitely hit the right melody - Vecna’s curse reference intended - with fans.
