Only Finn Wolfhard Figured Out STRANGER THINGS Spinoff

The highly popular series, Stranger Things, is wrapping up its run on Netflix after 37 years since its initial release. However, the creators of this beloved ’80s tribute, the Duffer Brothers, are not done with the Stranger Things universe yet. They’re working on a new series for Netflix that revolves around the same world. Details about this spinoff are scarce, leaving much to speculate. But it seems that only one person has been able to accurately predict what the Duffers have in store – Finn Wolfhard, who appears to be quite knowledgeable about the Upside Down.

In an interview with Tatiana Siegel at Variety, Wolfhard discussed his final days on the Stranger Things set and also hinted at the future of the franchise. Ross Duffer shared that Mike Wheeler from Hawkins had a unique insight into their spinoff plan – something that no one else, including Netflix, producers, directors, or other actors, had grasped. Duffer stated, “Finn figured it out, which is quite extraordinary.

As a devoted fan of Stranger Things, I can’t help but feel like I’ve tapped into some psychic connection with Gaten Matarazzo (the kid we all know and love). When asked about the upcoming season, he dropped some tantalizing hints that have us movie buffs buzzing with speculation. His words are like a beacon of excitement, illuminating our anticipation for not just the next installment, but also the spinoff series! Here’s what Variety had to share:

Akin to David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks,” this potential series might present an anthology format with diverse tones yet a consistent universe as its backdrop. The stories wouldn’t necessarily be set in the same locations as Hawkins, but would instead be interconnected through shared mythology, similar to the concept of the Upside Down. While specific characters haven’t been established, there have been discussions about various settings and ideas that could appeal to Netflix. However, at this point, these are just brainstorming sessions; there’s no official confirmation regarding the project. My preferred approach would be to introduce laboratories in multiple locations, such as one in Russia, given the existence of a lab in Hawkins.

Hearing that David Lynch and “Stranger Things” are connected is more than enough for us, and it’s great that Finn Wolfhard shared this exciting news with us.
