Stephen King Thinks Stranger Things Season 4’s Yuri Deserves a Spinoff
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Stranger Things season 4 part 1
After catching up on Stranger Thingsseason 4, writer Stephen King has an idea for a spinoff series following Yuri Ismaylov. Stranger Things has always been set up to have a 4/5 season run but with its incredible popularity, there are many who aren’t ready to let it go as the end fast approaches. Fortunately for those fans, the writers reportedly have several Stranger Things spin-offs in the works, although very little information is currently available, making any plot line and medium a real possibility.

After setting such a high standard with its previous season, the Stranger Things cast and crew has yet to disappoint.

Previously this record was held by Bridgerton season 2 with an impressive 193 million hours viewed, but Stranger Things season 4 soon shot past this with a staggering 287 million viewing hours in its opening weekend.
