Stranger Things creators in talks to leave Netflix for major streaming rival
Stranger Things creators are reportedly eyeing deal with Paramount
- Matt and Ross Duffer, creators of Netflix's Stranger Things, are reportedly in advanced negotiations to move to Paramount to create new exclusive TV shows and films.
- The potential move would see the Duffer Brothers reunite with former Netflix executives Cindy Holland and Matt Thunell, now heading streaming and TV studios at Paramount, respectively.
- Paramount reportedly aims for the siblings to focus on developing tentpole movies, marking a significant coup for the company following its merger with Skydance.
- Despite the potential move, the Duffer Brothers still have several unreleased titles with Netflix, including The Boroughs and Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, and are expected to confirm a Stranger Things spin-off.
- The fifth and final season of Stranger Things is scheduled for release in three batches later this year, with episodes dropping on November 26, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve.
