A first leak for the Stranger Things spin-off series? The rumor evokes a project that would be clearly surprising compared to the original Netflix show.
The writing of the last season 5 of Stranger Things began this summer but the Duffer brothers want to go beyond by creating their MCU. The spin-off series would be one of the cornerstones of this project and it would be radically different.
Details on the Stranger Things Tokyo spin-off series
Before getting to the heart of the matter, we will take out the big tweezers of rigor because this rumor does not come from sources as excellent as Variety, The Hollywood Reporter or Deadline. According to What’s on Netflix, the first Stranger Things spin-off will be a animated series subtitled “Tokyo”. We would follow the adventures of two twin brothers – like Matt and Ross Duffer -, video game enthusiasts, who live in the suburbs of Tokyo in the 80s.

On paper, it would be believable. Stranger Things: Tokyo has reportedly been in development for quite a while now, and the entire episodes are said to be around 6 hours long. Previously, the two showrunners warned that the Netflix spin-off will be surprising and different from the original series, which may fit perfectly with these details.
Other ongoing projects
For its Stranger Things Universe, The Duffer Brothers are thinking big. A play is in development, as is a crossover with Deadpool and this animated series (if confirmed).
Yes, we are building the STCU. Now that I’m spending time with Kevin Feige, the boss of Marvel Studios and the MCU, I’m learning a lot about how to run a cinematic universe. So I’m learning from his skills and applying them to the STCU.
