Being a writer is a hard job. It deserves respect. If we respect each other, we can cultivate a kinder, more inclusive, more collaborative environment for everyone that’d be nice.” The Duffer Brothers have also revealed that they would like to hand the spinoff to someone new. “The idea, ultimately, is to pass the baton to someone else, someone who’s hopefully really talented and passionate,” Matt added while on Happy Sad Confused. “Even the idea of Ross and I, say, doing a pilot and leaving it, it just feels silly to me. You really need to be there from the beginning to end. I think we need to find a partner to help us with that.” But apparently, Finn Wolfhard took one guess at what the spinoff series was about and got it right. "Finn Wolfhard, he wasn't spitballing, he just went, 'I think this would be a cool spin-off,'" Ross shared with Variety. "And we were like, 'How in the world…?'" Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair: Lucas is part of the young gang and a love interest to Max. McLaughlin was previously seen in Steven Soderbergh's High Flying Bird.

With the end of the world on its way, we hope that Will can find the strength to finally be honest and that his personal storyline will have a satisfying end, even without Mike's reciprocal feelings. At the very least, she's likely to have a serious recovery ahead of her after having every bone in her body broken by Vecna. She may not be the same Max we've come to know. On May 6th, the Duffers wrote on the Stranger Writers account that ruled out any filming taking place without the involvement of the writer’s posting: He wasn't quite finished with the Stranger Things gang and though we wouldn’t dream of rooting for the bad guy, we can't wait to see how his dark and twisted plan will play out.

Netflix Stranger Things season 5 potential release date: When is Stranger Things season 5 on Netflix? Production on the final series of the show had come to a grinding halt due to the writers and actors strikes. However, with both strikes now resolved, production is apparently doubling up its efforts to deliver on the goods.

Speaking on the TODAY program, Sadie said, “We know that it’s happening and that it’s the last season, so it’s going to be emotional, I’m sure,” adding, “Spoiler-free, just with the way my character ended in season 4, I have no idea what is going to happen. But I’ll be there.” Time Skip I don’t think that people would connect with a character like Eddie or others in the Stranger Things universe without compassionate, intelligent, quality writing. Whether or not they'd been referring to the animation is unclear but we know that at least one cast member would be keen to be a part of a separate spin-off franchise. Alongside the announcement of The Duffer Brothers re-upping their Netflix deal, we also got word they’re working on multiple spin-offs – some of which we’ve got more information on.With El unable to use her powers to defend herself or her friends against the Mind Flayer, Griswold Family was in a tight spot — especially after El, Mike and Max were separated from the rest of the group.

This emotional arc for him is what we feel is going to hopefully tie the whole series together. Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one that’s being protected. So part of his journey, it’s not just sexuality — it’s Will coming into his own as a young man.” What will happen to the gates? Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler: Nancy Wheeler is Mike's older sister and a recent graduate of Hawkins High. Byer was last seen in Netflix's Velvet Buzzsaw. The reason we haven't done anything is just because you don't want to be doing it for the wrong reasons, and it was just like, 'Is this something I would want to make regardless of it being related to Stranger Things or not?' And definitely,” said Matt. "Even if we took the Stranger Things title off of it, I'm so, so excited about it. But it is not… it's going to be different than what anyone is expecting, including Netflix."Already we are salivating in anticipation but how long will it be until the fate of Hawkins makes it to our screens? Paul Reiser as Dr. Sam Owens: Dr. Owens oversees operations at Hawkins Lab. Reiser is best known for his role on '90s sitcom Mad About You.

In a Variety piece in August 2023, the Duffers told the trade magazine that Will will take “center stage again in [season] 5”, adding:
