Netflix Co-CEO Teases Stranger Things Spinoff on Lead Character

An entire show about Eleven and her backstory? Count us in.

In a Code Conference via Deadline, Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos talked about a potential spin-off series for one of the hit YA shows, Stranger Things.

He revealed there would be plenty more Stranger Things content, aside from the upcoming Season 4.

Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Finn Wolfhard skyrocketed to stardom with the sci-fi horror show in 2016. Fast forward five years, one of their characters might end up getting a show created entirely for them.

During the conference, Sarandos said Stranger Things “is a franchise being born.”

The show’s co-creator, Matt Duffer, had previously stated to Deadline that they weren’t optimistic the show would even go beyond season one. But they now know the potential and the end for the series too.

Considering we have five crucial characters and many on the side as crucial for the story as others, the team’s strategy to create an entire franchise out of the show is plausible. There are many characters, details, and angles they can focus on.

The best part is that Sarandos used the term “spin-offs,” teasing that there might be more than just one.

According to Deadline, there are talks of Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown, being the first character to get an individual spin-off. She is undoubtedly the show’s main star, whose history remains shrouded in mystery, so it does make sense to start with her too.

Stranger Things Season 4’s filming is almost over. The teaser during Netflix’s Tudum event gave fans everything they had been waiting for, and at the same time, nothing too.

We know Hopper’s back (of course he doesn’t die!), a mysterious creature awaiting them too, but there might also be time travel in the upcoming season.

Especially with Netflix’s teaser description. They first state it will release in 2022 but then tease,

However, it’s not clear when in 2022 the fourth season will premiere…only time will tell. But with filming almost completed, it might be sometime early next year.

Let’s see what Stranger Things as a franchise has in store for us. Only great things, we bet!
