The nostalgic, coming-of-age sci-fi show show is a huge hit for the streaming service and has made stars of its leads. The Duffer Brothers have confirmed that spin-offs have happened before the first half of the fourth season of the show arrives.
If we were to do a spinoff or continuation of the show, the bar was always high for us. We're being careful about what that is and whether we move forward with it or not.
The key for us is that it feels like its own thing, not that we're just retreading what we've already done, because what would be the point of that? I think we have something that could be very exciting. If anyone else steps up to showrun spin-offs in their universe, the duo will remain involved.
The introduction of Eleven's sister Eight in the second season felt like a pilot for the expanded universe of the show. Recent cast additions like Max, who starred in the Fear Street trilogy andPriah Ferguson, have grown their own fan followings which could come into play. In the latest trailer, we see that both of them could potentially lead stories in their own spin-offs. We would be here for it. We want to know what you want from a spin-off. Let us know your ideas below.
