Stranger Things creator Duffer Brothers are set to bring the fan-favorite universe of supernatural in an anime version.

As Promised Duffer Brothers Are Planning a New &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Spinoff and They Are Venturing Into Anime This Time

It looks like Duffer Brothers have wrapped multiple surprises for fans this
season. Viewers have spent months speculating about the new projects and
possibilities of season 5. While the creators are finally revealing things to
the Stranger Things fandom that they waited for so long. Most recently, they
teased fans about the storyline that will reach the stage in the coming month.
Not to mention, the creative team dropped a hint regarding the highly
anticipated season of the horror drama. And now they are back with a bigger
explosive that might just leave fans crazy.

During their appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Duffer Brothers had
revealed their plans to make a new Stranger Things spinoff. The anime series
will be set in the 1980s Tokyo and focuses on two video game-loving twin
brothers whose lives change after they see Upside Down. While they also
confirmed that this 6-hour-long show will be hugely different from the original
show.



The duo further added this will be a “story that connects to the Stranger Things
world, but it really is more about how we’re telling that story.”

The American writers first hinted at the idea of a spin-off in 2022 before the
release of the highly acclaimed fourth season. Meanwhile, apart from this news,
the franchise has already launched two games based on the popular show. Not to
forget, Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales is only available on Netflix Games right
now.


WHY THE STRANGER THINGS FRANCHISE IS VENTURING INTO SPIN-OFFS? 

First of all, fans have long urged Duffer Brothers

and Netflix to not break their bond with this universe after the show ends with
season 5. Also, everybody knows all the franchises that garner huge fandoms like
Stranger Things start spanning their world through different storylines and
angles.

For instance, The Witcher is one of the most famous series on the streamer for
which viewers eagerly wait every year. So Netflix brought a prequel that traced
back the story of the origins of these monster slayers. Just like that, there
are several possible worlds that the original story of Stranger Things can
branch into.

Another reason we can give here is that we all have seen how amazing anime fans
have shared with us on social media. Therefore, this can be the chance where
fans can actually see what this universe would look like in the anime version.

Do you remember when fans asked for a Steve and Robin spin-off? Do you think
Duffer Brothers should give it a thought?
