The Duffer Brother spotlights on the spin-off series
The duo behind the creation of Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers, have revealed their concept for a potential spin-off series. They have also highlighted the spin-off’s distinctive setting compared to the main plot. The duo also stated that the upcoming spin-off would be entirely different in an interview with Collider.
The Duffer Brothers deserve praise for developing such endearing characters that fans from any country or culture may identify with. It takes a lot of artistic commitment to maintain the same degree of consistency since the first seasons. With the fourth season, The Duffer Brothers had done it again flawlessly.
During the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz, The Duffer Brothers recently stated that the series is “1000 per cent different” from the central Stranger Things storyline, which viewers are familiar. They also claimed that a completely different director would be in charge of the series, which goes along with the fact that the spin-plot off’s premise will differ greatly from that of the original series.
