Alongside the announcement of The Duffer Brothers re-upping their Netflix deal, we also got word they’re working on multiple spin-offs – some of which we’ve got more information on. Being a writer is a hard job. It deserves respect. If we respect each other, we can cultivate a kinder, more inclusive, more collaborative environment for everyone that’d be nice.” Joseph Quinn, who previously played beloved fan favorite Eddie Munson in the fourth season of the series, gave a shoutout and support to the writers from the show after his MTV Award Win for Breakthrough Performance: Sadly, for the people of Hawkins, those unable to get out of the town before a quarantine starts may have to fend for themselves while the military wage war against the forces of the Upside Down. Will takes a central role in Season 5 As you may know, however, the series has been severely impacted by the ongoing writers’ strike from May 2023 onwards and the SAG-AFTRA strike beginning in July 2023.

Untitled Stranger Things Live-Action Series – Spin-off series based on an original idea by The Duffer Brothers, with Upside Down and 21 Laps producing. This Free Printable 2023 Stranger Things Calendar is waiting for you to print it out so it can keep you organized and on time for the entire year to come! Enjoy! But apparently, Finn Wolfhard took one guess at what the spinoff series was about and got it right. "Finn Wolfhard, he wasn't spitballing, he just went, 'I think this would be a cool spin-off,'" Ross shared with Variety. "And we were like, 'How in the world…?'" Given the danger that the gates pose to Hawkins and the rest of the world, the military may declare martial law and potentially quarantine Hawkins. We can expect a robust military presence, especially if Demogorgons and other monstrosities begin to surf from the gates. I don’t think that people would connect with a character like Eddie or others in the Stranger Things universe without compassionate, intelligent, quality writing.

Stranger Things VR – The video game VR project from Tender Claws will be released in November 2023. On May 6th, the Duffers wrote on the Stranger Writers account that ruled out any filming taking place without the involvement of the writer’s posting:

In December 2022, we got word about one of the new spin-offs, described as an anime series set in Tokyo during the 1980s. The logline we have for the new anime series, which hasn’t been officially confirmed, is as follows: The reason we haven't done anything is just because you don't want to be doing it for the wrong reasons, and it was just like, 'Is this something I would want to make regardless of it being related to Stranger Things or not?' And definitely,” said Matt. "Even if we took the Stranger Things title off of it, I'm so, so excited about it. But it is not… it's going to be different than what anyone is expecting, including Netflix."With a year of filming planned and potentially not starting until the end of Summer or even into the Fall, any hope of a 2024 release date is over; we now expect Stranger Things season 5 to be released on Netflix sometime in the Spring or Summer of 2025 at the absolute earliest. When New-Gen was first announced in 2020, it was revealed that the show would cater towards a younger audience while also having qualities for older and more mature audiences. No release date has been announced for the new Marvel Comics show, but the series has already entered production. That movie, which will use the same name and a slightly reconfigured story will be released through A24 with Finn Wolfhard reprising his role from the original audio drama. This time, however, the story will focus more on the relationship of Ziggy with his mom (this time named Evelyn, played by Julianne Moore) with Jesse Eisenberg stepping behind the camera for his directorial debut. This emotional arc for him is what we feel is going to hopefully tie the whole series together. Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one that’s being protected. So part of his journey, it’s not just sexuality — it’s Will coming into his own as a young man.” What will happen to the gates? An encounter with the Upside Down evolves into a grand adventure for video game-loving twin brothers living on the outskirts of 1980s Tokyo.”

Are you looking forward to the fifth and final season of Stranger Things on Netflix? Let us know in the comments below! With a delay in the start of production with Stranger Things season 5, any hope of seeing the series return in 2024 is likely zero. The cast for Stranger Things has swelled in recent years, and expect a big ensemble cast for the final season. Within the UK and USA the price you see is the price you pay - you won't be charged any extra fees. Get ready to journey into the supernatural world of Stranger Things: The First Shadow, coming to the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End.One of the most anticipated returning Netflix shows, Stranger Things will make its return to the streaming service at some point in the near future, but no one is really sure when or what the fourth season will actually be about. There are certainly plenty of rumors, fan theories, and speculation about how things will end up for the Hawkins crew and key characters sent off to Soviet prison camps as we all anxiously await the next chapter in the Duffer brothers’ hit show. The Duffer Brothers have also revealed that they would like to hand the spinoff to someone new. “The idea, ultimately, is to pass the baton to someone else, someone who’s hopefully really talented and passionate,” Matt added while on Happy Sad Confused. “Even the idea of Ross and I, say, doing a pilot and leaving it, it just feels silly to me. You really need to be there from the beginning to end. I think we need to find a partner to help us with that.”

Stranger Things Comics – Currently announced projects include Tales from Hawkins and The Many Ghosts of Dr. Brenner.Finally, as to what we can expect, the Stranger Things writing staff gave us a clue when they Tweeted: I just like shaking it up, so we shake it up by changing the plot or adding in a new monster,” said Matt. “We’re doing our best to resist [adding new characters] for Season 5. We’re trying not to do that so we can focus on the OG characters, I guess.” With such a finite amount of time left with the OG Hawkins gang, it makes sense that the Stranger Things writers want to make sure that fans aren't left feeling shorted by the series finale. This means there might be a new face around town in Stranger Things 5, but don't count on it too much. Speaking on the TODAY program, Sadie said, “We know that it’s happening and that it’s the last season, so it’s going to be emotional, I’m sure,” adding, “Spoiler-free, just with the way my character ended in season 4, I have no idea what is going to happen. But I’ll be there.” Time Skip Directed by acclaimed, award-winning director Stephen Daldry (The Crown, Billy Elliot the Musical), and creatively overseen by Matt & Ross Duffer – the Duffer Brothers, the show promises to be a major new addition to the Stranger Things universe, and take theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to a whole new dimension. This is in addition to some of the other projects The Duffer Brothers and 21 Laps are working on for Netflix. The Duffers are working on a Death Note adaptation, a sci-fi series called The Boroughs, and the Stephen King adaptation The Talisman.
