A new deal between Netflix and the Duffer Brothers includes putting a new adaptation of Death Note into development. Death Note, which is now a sprawling franchise that spans continents and various forms of media, began as a manga series by writer Tsugumi Ohba and artist Takeshi Obata. It follows a young man named Light Yagami who discovers a notebook that will cause the death of anybody whose name is written in its pages, safeguarded by the demonic Shinigami known as Ryuk. Thus begins a cat and mouse game with the authorities as Light gets drawn further and further into the intoxicating pull of his new power over life and death.
