The Duffer Brothers are a couple of noobs on the scene and created a little show called Stranger Things. I jest, you know who they are, and you’ve heard of Stranger Things. I’m pretty sure there are plankton at the bottom of the ocean that have seen that show.
The Duffers had been working as writers for a while, but then in 2016 made the smash hit show for Netflix. Since then, everything has changed for them. Stranger Things will finish after Season 5, and it looks like the brothers are moving to Paramount. They have signed a four-year deal for movies, TV series and streaming content.
In an official statement, the Duffers said:
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining the Paramount family. David, Josh, and Dana are passionate about bringing bold, original films to the big screen. To be part of that mission is not just exciting – it’s the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. And to do so at a studio with such a storied Hollywood legacy is a privilege we don’t take lightly.”
“We’re also excited to reunite with our friends Cindy and Matt, who were among the very first to believe in us and an unusual little script we wrote that became Stranger Things. They took a chance on us in 2015, and they’re taking a chance again – we can’t wait to create new stories together.”
They aren’t done with Netflix, with two projects still in the works. There’s a series called The Boroughs, which sees a retirement community battling against an otherworldly threat. That sounds like Stranger Things: The Golden Years. The series stars Gina Davis, Alfred Molina, Bill Pullman, and Alfre Woodard.
Stranger Things will finish on the 26th of Nov, 25th Dec and the 31st Dec on Netflix.
