Fans were over the moon after the final episode of the fifth season of “Stranger Things” premiered worldwide on December 31, 2025. However, the fans thought the Duffer Brothers’ universe might come to an end, but they were proved wrong with this special announcement.
The “Stranger Things” universe may be closing one chapter, but it is far from finished. The iconic series brought millions of viewers across the globe, who cannot wait for a new series. Fortunately, The Duffer Brothers have confirmed that a new live-action spinoff is officially in development.
Matt Duffer brought joy to the fans in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, revealing that the spinoff will address a major unresolved mystery from the series finale: the mysterious rock Henry Creel discovered, which became a pivotal moment to understand the connection to Dimension X and the Mind Flayer.
Duffer further revealed that the project will not be solely focused on the rock itself; it will just represent a “loose end” that will finally be tied up. Instead, the creators explain the spinoff will introduce an “entirely new mythology” with fresh characters, a new town, and a new world. The Duffer brothers shared that work on the spinoff resumed on January 5, 2026. Are you ready?
