Stranger Things: everything we know about the spin-off of the Netflix series

Everything we currently know about the previously announced Stranger Things spin-off.

Probably not even the most optimistic would have envisioned success of such proportions for Stranger Things. The TV series set in the 1980s has even turned into a cultural phenomenon on a planetary scale. Given the excellent audience numbers, Netflix certainly couldn’t miss those who made it all possible, namely the creators of the show.

The first advances in the spin-off

In recent times, the Los Gatos streaming giant has officially announced the establishment by Matt and Ross Duffer (better known as the Duffer brothers), the artistic fathers and executive producer of Stranger Things, of a production company, called Upside Down Pictures, through which they will develop film and television projects, as part of the agreement stipulated with the company by the big red “n”.

The name given to the project, Upside Down (the equivalent of the upside down, where an important part of ST’s history takes place), speaks volumes about the important role that Stranger Things will retain in the coming years. A live-action spin-off series and a new play set in the world and mythology of the franchise are currently being finalized. In addition, representations not directly associated with the popular science fiction saga, whose main narrative strand will end with season 5, would be in the pipeline.

For anyone who is passionate about Stranger Things, after finishing the fourth season, a spontaneous question arises: what will the spin-off be about? Who will be the protagonists and which ST characters will appear there? The questions would go on forever, but let’s try to take stock of the situation. For a start, it won’t follow the original drama.

Guests on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Duffer Brothers have made some interesting statements on the matter. They’ve read various rumors about one SO on Eleven, one on Dustin and Steve, and more. The truth? None of this is true. They are not interested in it as they have already thought about it. They’ve spent a lot of hours exploring narrative outlets and feel the time has come to push the boundaries. Therefore, the characteristics will be very different. However, according to the creators of Stranger Things, the spin-off will follow the sensitivity of the narrative, although characterized by new faces.

Matt Duffer pointed out how the storyline will connect with the ST universe, but in reality, it will be mostly about how they are delivering it. Basically, a thick aura of mystery remains, but the Duffer brothers told Variety that actor Finn Wolfhard was able to predict the future evolution of the work.

They have an idea for a spin-off they are “super enthusiastic about”, not spelled out to anyone or put in black and white. According to them every one, including Netflix, will be surprised when they reveal it because it is so far away from ST. Yet, somehow Finn Wolfhard (interpreter of Michael “Mike” Wheeler) has fully taken us on the issues they will face. However, except for him, no one else is aware of it!

Stranger Things 5 and that clue in Will's painting: will the dragon Borys be the nemesis of the new season?

If so, the protagonists of Stranger Things in the last season could be confronted with the most powerful nemesis of D&D!

The anticipation is growing for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. As announced a few hours ago, the writers of the series have officially set to work on the latest episodes, which will only be released on Netflix in the course of 2024. Given the long wait, the most avid Stranger Things fans just have to look at the released episodes. , perhaps hunting for some clues on what will be the great epilogue of the series. Some Twitter users, not surprisingly, have launched a fan theory that, if it were true, would reveal a preview of the villain of the fifth season!

Will the dragon Borys be the nemesis of the fifth season of Stranger Things?

In the eighth episode of the fourth season of Stranger Things, we saw Will comforting Mike in the Surfer Boy Pizza van about the fate that awaits Eleven and all of them. At one point, she shows him the painting she made for him, passing it off as a work by Eleven.

The painting depicts Mike leading his friends – in medieval attire – in the fight against a three-headed dragon. According to some Twitter users, the aforementioned painting – clearly inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons game – could be something of a prophecy. If so, the protagonists of Stranger Things in the last season could be confronted with the most powerful nemesis of D&D, namely Borys, the Witch King of Ur Draxa.

A decidedly interesting fan theory that becomes even more credible if we consider two factors. In the first seasons of the series, we saw how powerful the bond between Will and the Upside Down is, a bond that has often manifested itself through the drawings Will himself made. Also, as if that were not enough, we must not forget the words of Nancy Wheeler in the fourth season of the series.

The girl, in fact, speaks of “A giant monster with wide-open jaws” after being possessed by Vecna, who showed her the destruction of her that she would have sown in that of Hawkins. In short, if two clues prove it, the enemy of the last season of Stranger Things will be him: the dragon Borys!

The new series continues the adventures of the characters we already know from previous seasons, such as The Boys themselves (Hughie, Frenchie, Billy Butcher, Kimiko) and the 7 “very bad supes” (Patriot, Black Noir, Abyss, Regina Maeve, Starlight, etc. ). But soon a new team (or a prequel) could join the story of this crazy and daring adventure that subverts all the rules of superhero stories.

Doctor Who: the return of two beloved stars sends fans into raptures!

For Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary, the return of these two beloved stars has been announced!

Doctor Who

Doctor Who is one of the most loved and long-lived TV series ever: recently, in fact, the name of the new actor who will play the Doctor was announced! BCC has brought Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa into the cast of the next season of Doctor Who. One of the longest-running shows in television history has found in the choice of its ever-changing cast members the trick for constant renewal and carrying on one of the most successful sci-fi films on the small screen.

This implies that the show never necessarily has to end because a star just gets tired of playing the lead role to have a new casting for the next season. The Doctor, in Doctor Who, simply regenerates in a new form. The series relaunches itself, with a new protagonist.

The series that never gets old, therefore, has decided to “fish out” in its stellar cast to bring back to the public two of its most successful and loved characters in Doctor Who history. David Tennant and Catherine Tate will return to Doctor Who to celebrate the series’ 60th anniversary. David Tennant will return as the Tenth Doctor in the next special that airs this fall. Along with Tennant, his companion Donna Noble, played by Catherine Tate, will also return. The announcement took place via the official social profile of the TV series!

The return of its Doctor Who stars also coincides with the return of showrunner Russell T. Davies. The three had already worked together from 2005 to 2010. The details regarding the story in which the protagonists will be involved are still unknown, but Davies has released a somewhat cryptic statement to Comicbook about it: “Maybe it will be a story never told. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, a deception, or a flashback. The only thing I can confirm is that their return will be spectacular. Two of our biggest stars will return for the battle of a lifetime ”.

Stranger Things – Season 4: stars reveal the terrifying new villain

Stranger Things stars talk about Vecna, the new terrifying monster from season 4 of the Netflix series

Stranger Things 4/Netflix

The return of Stranger Things is getting closer and closer. The first half of season 4 of the beloved Netflix series will arrive on the streaming service at the end of the month, on May 27, thus ending the wait of almost three years since the debut of season 3. The trailer for the fourth season has offered fans a first taste of what’s to come in the next few episodes, not only showing us the young and adventurous residents of Hawkins, Indiana but also revealing a terrifying new villain. We’ve seen the most human creature of the Upside Down so far, a monster known only as Vecna.

Vecna’s design is terrifying and it looks like the creature’s presence on the screen will be just as chilling! At the premiere of Stranger Things 4, Variety talked about the supervillain with several of the show’s cast members, including David Harbor: “Vecna is a psychological horror that I don’t think we’ve really ever seen. The Upside Down is a wild west where there are creatures running around, and there is violence, but we have never seen something as psychologically evil as this. It’s exciting because he’s a real supervillain that we need in the show. “

Unfortunately, Jim Hopper fans will be disappointed to learn that Hawkins’ heroic sheriff has nothing to do with the Vecna on screen. At least not yet. “I don’t deal with him directly, my plot is slightly different, but there is a Demogorgon in a Russian prison that I have to deal with. It’s pretty terrifying too, ”David Harbor revealed.

Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin in Stranger Things, spoke of the horror that the monster Vecna brings to the series. According to the young actor, this is an entirely different type of villain from the evils Hawkins has faced in the past. “The craziest thing is how new and fresh the villain looks, compared to what we’ve had before. It brings a whole new vibe to how we deal with our villains in Stranger Things and how we will continue to do so in the future. “
