Netflix Reportedly Developing 'Stranger Things' Spinoff Centered on Eleven and Mike

Overview

• Reports shared Tuesday by entertainment outlets say Netflix is developing Stranger Things: The Storyteller and the Mage, with Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard expected to return, though nothing is officially confirmed.
• Paul Dichter, known for writing the Season 4 episode “Dear Billy,” is reportedly in talks to serve as lead writer.
• The possible return would follow the show’s intentionally open ending, even as the Duffer Brothers and Brown had previously suggested some character arcs were finished.
• Separately, the 3D animated Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 premieres on Netflix on April 23, with a two‑episode theatrical preview set for April 18.
• Netflix’s slate also includes an untitled live‑action project tied to a Season 5 element, a filmed version of the Broadway play The First Shadow, a tie‑in novel, and new game content, which keeps the brand active for partners such as Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights.
