Back in February, Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers wrote a letter to fans revealing that the series would air its upcoming fourth season and go on to wrap up the series with a fifth and final season. They said they’d been in discussions about a spin-off that would take the universe they created into a weird and different direction. And as it turns out, only one member of the cast knows what that plan is.
In a recent statement given to Variety, the Duffers said:
“We do have an idea for a spinoff that we’re super excited about … but we haven’t told anyone the idea yet, much less written it. We think everyone — including Netflix — will be surprised when they hear the concept, because it’s very, very different. But somehow Finn Wolfhard — who is one crazy smart kid — correctly guessed what it was going to be about. But aside from Finn, no one else knows!”
And I bet it will be a good long time before we do find out what it’s about! We still have Seasons 4 and 5 to watch, and who knows what will go down in the series between now and then? It will be fun to theorize about though, and it’s good to know that the Duffers’ insane talent will bring us awesome new content beyond the ending flagship series.
Stranger Things Season 4 part 1 will debut this Friday, May 27th, and Season 4 part 2 will drop on July 1st.
