‘Stranger Things’ Creators are Jumping Ship to Paramount
Netflix is saying goodbye to its most beloved series as the creators of ‘Stranger Things’ have announced their departure from the streaming giant. Matt and Ross Duffer, the masterminds behind the popular sci-fi horror show, will be joining forces with Paramount to produce new TV shows and movies. This marks a significant shift in the entertainment industry landscape.
According to reports, the brothers’ decision was largely influenced by Netflix’s reluctance to release their films in theaters. The creators wanted to explore the big screen, but the streaming giant wasn’t interested unless it met specific criteria such as being a potential Oscar winner or featuring high-profile directors.
Matt and Ross Duffer have had an impressive run with ‘Stranger Things’, which has garnered widespread acclaim and massive success since its inception. Their production company, Upside Down Productions, will continue to work on existing projects, including the upcoming animated prequel ‘Tales of 85’ set for release in 2026.
It remains unclear what this means for the future of ‘Stranger Things’. Netflix still has a significant amount of content left to air, with the show’s latest season being split into three parts. The final episodes are scheduled to drop on November 26, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve.
While it is uncertain whether the brothers will be involved in any potential future projects for ‘Stranger Things’, their departure marks a significant change in the entertainment landscape as they join Paramount, shifting their focus towards tentpole movies.
