Netflix isn’t letting Stranger Things go away anytime soon. The streamer has renewed the series for a fourth season and series creators and showrunners The Duffer Brothers signed a big multi-year film and series overall deal with Netflix as well.
Details of the deal aren’t being made public but it’s being reported that given the enormous global success of Stranger Things, the deal with the Duffer Brothers would be comparable to the five-year, nine-figure overall pact Netflix recently signed with Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
The renewal for Stranger Things was revealed via an announcement video that was posted by Netflix. The announcement video does reveal that the series will be partially leaving Hawkins, IN and provides a possible clue about a new setting of Season 4. It ends with the words “We’re Not In Hawkins Anymore” to the Westminster Chimes, used by a number of places around the world including in the U.S. but most closely associated with UK’s Big Ben.
Many fans figured that with the season 4 announcement that we would also find out the series would be wrapping up with its fourth season but that announcement wasn’t made at this time. Stranger Things is a huge global hit and Netflix owns it so they’re inclined to keep it around as long as they can but I believe The Duffer Brothers will end it when they see fit.
