Stranger Things Universe-Set Stage Play In Development
With the unveiling of Matt and Ross Duffer's new production company, Upside Down Pictures, a new stage play set in the world of Stranger Things has been announced as being in development. Following a three-year hiatus, partially due to pandemic-related delays, the science-fiction horror show returned to Netflix with much fanfare by breaking Disney+'sObi-Wan Kenobi viewership record and making Stranger Things the most-watched television show on any streaming service this year. With the season 4 finale just premiering last week, and with season 5 expected to be the show's last, the Duffer brothers are looking to the future to expand the Stranger Things franchise.
With season 4 left on a cliffhanger, fans are clamoring for any news regarding Stranger Things season 5. The Duffer brothers have yet to begin writing the season but have revealed that the core group of Hawkins teenagers will be back together once again and that there will be a significant jump in time from the end of the previous season. The creators have also previously announced that there will be a spin-off series in the future that will connect to the events of Stranger Things but will be very different in style.
