As part of the announcement of Season 4's release dates on February 17, 2022, the Duffer Brothers hinted the Stranger Things universe would expand with spinoffs.[1]
In an interview published on May 23, 2022, the Duffers confirmed that they had ideas for at least one spinoff, but were yet to begin the writing process. They were yet to share their spinoff concept to anyone else, including Netflix executives. The proposed new series is "very different", and will apparently not involve characters from the main series. Though the Duffers had not yet revealed the spinoff's concept, Mike Wheeler actor Finn Wolfhard has apparently correctly guessed the idea behind the spinoff.[2]
On July 6, 2022, the Duffers announced their new production company, Upside Down Pictures, via an official Netflix press release. The press release included a brief description of the Stranger Things spin-off, describing it as a "live-action" series "based on an original idea by The Duffer Brothers, with Upside Down and 21 Laps producing."[3]
On March 10, 2023, a separate animated spinoff was announced, though details were scarce. It remains unclear whether the Duffers' comments from the May 23, 2022 interview refer to the live-action or animated spinoff.[4]
