What a year it’s been for Stranger Things fans, who watched their favorite series come to a close nearly 10 full years after the first season premiered on Netflix. Fans could spend hours arguing about the logistics behind releasing only five, eight-episode seasons in 10 years, but the Duffer brothers gave the world an all-time great sci-fi show with Stranger Things, even if it did take more time than most fans would have liked. Netflix brought back Stranger Things for a new animated spin-off show, Tales From ‘85, which has already been renewed for Season 2. Better yet, Netflix has confirmed that more episodes of the show are on the way before the end of the year. The Duffer brothers are also working on another Stranger Things spin-off, but it’s far too early to know when it will be released.

News broke last year that Ross and Matt Duffer, creators of Stranger Things, had signed a new deal with Paramount to bring movies to the big screen. The duo will still continue to develop new shows for Netflix, but they have been open about their desire to bring movies to the big screen, which is something that simply isn’t feasible under Netflix, the biggest streaming goliath in the world. Paramount is already confident in the Duffer brothers to deliver a hit, so much so that the duo’s first film at the new studio has officially been set for release on November 3, 2028. Nothing is known about the project at this time, other than that the Duffer brothers are directing from a script they wrote together, and they are both producing as well.

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You're a systems thinker who can't help but notice the seams in things.

The wasteland doesn't reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That's you.

You'd survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn't have it any other way.

The Duffer brothers recently returned to Netflix for a new sci-fi series, The Boroughs, which has already picked up over 100 million views. The Alfred Molina-led sci-fi sensation has been in the Netflix top 10 for a few weeks now, proving to be one of the biggest breakout shows of the year for the streamer. While Ross and Matt Duffer did not write or direct any episodes of The Boroughs, they do serve as executive producers on the show and were involved in the creative direction.

Check out all episodes of Stranger Things and The Boroughs on Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the Duffer brothers’ new movie in the works at Paramount.
