Season five of Stranger Things is one of the most anticipated series finales not just on Netflix but across streaming platforms. The science fiction show has garnered a lot of support and success for itself over the course of ten years, four released seasons, and many much-loved characters and roles.
With such interesting stories still left to tell, fans were expecting to see new series of the characters eventually. Recently, the showrunners and creators were asked if there were chances of potential spin offs or sequels set in the same universe and here’s how the producers responded to the questions.
Stranger Things: Will There Be Potential Spinoffs Or Sequels Set In The Universe?
During a panel, Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators, directors and executive producers of Stranger Things shed some light on their future plans. They responded to the inquirers, “We’re taking it one step at a time. We don’t wanna rush anything. We don’t wanna just do something just to do it, or for commercial reasons,” the brothers referred to the franchise’s popularity.
Ross expressed, “We want it to have a real reason to exist and something that we’re all excited about.” Matt then dropped a really disappointing piece of news for the fans. “This story, these characters’ stories, that’s done. That whole story is coming to an end. There’s not like a Steve or Dustin spinoff or something like that,” he made their intentions very clear to the viewers.
Matt then concluded, “The hope is that we finish telling this story. And then you leave it and tell new stories. And hopefully, there are new characters that people can fall in love with,” teasing potentially new characters whose stories could be followed. Regardless, the original gang will officially wrap up their story in the upcoming fifth and final season of Stranger Things.

After the season’s filming wrapped, Ross took to his Instagram to share a message about the show. He wrote, “We’ve been telling this story for nearly a decade now. Many of our cast members joined us when they were kids, just ten or eleven years old.”
“They’ve grown up before our eyes, becoming more than actors: they’ve become family,” Ross continued and concluded, “Everyone involved was determined to bring this story to a satisfying conclusion. They poured their hearts and souls into it, and we couldn’t be more proud of what they’ve accomplished,” signing off with the promise of a great season of the show.
