Netflix and the Duffer brothers inked a new deal that’s delivering a new season of Stranger Things and more.
A cryptic announcement teaser for Stranger Things 4 ends with a declaration that “we’re not in Hawkins anymore.”
According to Netflix, the new, multi-year deal — which The Hollywood Reporter says is nine-figures — covers films and series from the Stranger Things creators and showrunners.
“We are absolutely thrilled to continue our relationship with Netflix,” Matt and Ross Duffer say. “Ted Sarandos, Cindy Holland, Brian Wright, and Matt Thunell took a huge chance on us and our show and forever changed our lives. From our first pitch meeting to the release of Stranger Things 3, the entire team at Netflix has been nothing short of sensational, providing us with the kind of support, guidance, and creative freedom we always dreamed about. We can’t wait to tell many more stories together — beginning, of course, with a return trip to Hawkins!”
“The Duffer brothers have captivated viewers around the world with Stranger Things, and we’re thrilled to expand our relationship with them to bring their vivid imaginations to other film and series projects our members will love,” says Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix. “We can’t wait to see what the Duffer brothers have in store when they step outside the world of the Upside Down.”
