Finn Wolfhard Teases Potential ‘Stranger Things’ Spinoff “Like David Lynch’s Twin Peaks”
In Variety‘s new cover story profiling Finn Wolfhard, the “Stranger Things” star discusses a potential spinoff to the hit Netflix series.
“Like David Lynch’s ‘Twin Peaks.’ Sort of an anthology and different tones but similar universe or same universe,” Wolfhard speculates.
“I think set in different places and all tied together through this mythology of the Upside Down. Don’t even talk about Hawkins. Don’t have any mention of our characters.”
He continues, “They were toying around with ideas in case Netflix wanted them. I’m sure they do, and I’m sure it will happen, but there’s nothing official. I think the coolest way, the way that I would do it, there has to be labs everywhere. If there was one in Hawkins, there’s one in Russia. Where else could they be?”
“Stranger Things” co-creator Ross Duffer notes that Wolfhard was the only one to correctly guess the spinoff concept.
“Nobody — not Netflix, not any of the producers, not any of the directors, not any of the actors — nobody else has figured out what the spinoff is. Finn figured it out, which is pretty remarkable,” Duffer tells Variety. “We’ve mind-melded with this kid a bit.”
The fifth and final season of “Stranger Things” will premiere on Netflix in three parts: four episodes on November 26, three episodes on December 25, and the series finale on December 31.
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
