Netflix have given the green light for a Stranger Things spin-off series.
The sci-fi series has rocketed since its debut on the streaming platform in 2016 and quickly became one of the company’s most-watched series.
Therefore it only made sense that the streaming service plans to expand the series into a franchise.

“To see this dream realised has been absolutely thrilling.”
They wrapped up by saying: “We couldn’t be more blown away by what Eric Robles and his team have come up with — the scripts and artwork are incredible, and we can’t wait to share more with you! The adventure continues…”
Bosses didn’t reveal that the spin-off would not focus on characters such as Millie Bobby Brown’s character Eleven or Joe Keery’s Steve Harrington.
The announcement comes straight off the back of another shocking update from the Stranger Things world as actress Millie, 19, got engaged to her long-time boyfriend.
