Rumors of The Duffers Leaving “Stranger Things” Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Ah, good old internet rumors strike again.
We’re not bothering to look into who initially started them, but rumors began circulating earlier today that Matt and Ross Duffer, the creative forces behind “Stranger Things,“ would be decreasing their role in the Netflix series after Season 3. The rumors suggested that the Duffers would be stepping down as showrunners.
That’d suck. But it’s not true.
Clearing up the rumors, Netflix tweeted tonight, “Don’t drop your Eggos. Rumors that the Duffer Bros are leaving Stranger Things after season 3 are false.”
Season 3 will likely arrive in late 2018/early 2019, as filming is yet to begin.

Additionally, we’ve learned “Star Wars: The Acolyte” will premiere on June 4. Check out the official art below, which replaces a lightsaber beam with a streak of blood…
Bloody violence in the Star Wars Universe? It’s about time! The poster’s tagline reads, “In an age of light… a darkness rises.” Expect the show’s official trailer tomorrow, March 19.

“The Acolyte” is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.
