The upcoming Netflix\u2019s Stranger Things<\/a> Season 5 is the last and final season, but fans are hoping<\/a> there could be spin-offs. Now, the creators have given an update on whether Eleven and the rest of the Hawkins gang could return or not.<\/p>\n

The Duffer Brothers reveal if Eleven and her friends will be in Stranger Things live-action spin-offs<\/p>\n

Stranger Things\u2019 Ross Duffer confirmed to SFX Magazine that the upcoming Season 5 will officially close the book on the characters fans have grown to love since 2016. \u201cThis really is the end of the story of Eleven and Mike and Lucas and Dustin and Steve and all these characters, and Hawkins specifically,\u201d he stated. (via GamesRadar+<\/a>)<\/p>\n

His brother and co-creator, Matt Duffer, echoed the sentiment, adding that keeping the story open for potential sequels would diminish its emotional weight. \u201cThere\u2019s not really anything else worth exploring,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cThe book is closed, and the ending wouldn\u2019t be very impactful if we left it cracked open for some sort of sequel.\u201d This means that no future Stranger Things live-action spin-offs<\/a> revisiting Hawkins or the Upside Down are currently in development.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the creators even addressed the common phenomenon of cast reunions years after a show ends, dismissing the idea outright. Ross Duffer elaborated, \u201cYou don\u2019t want to do something in 20 years where a bunch of characters are like, \u2018Oh, we better get Mike back, he knew how to handle this!\u2019 That\u2019s not what we\u2019re interested in.\u201d They are committed to preserving the way it needs to be played out, ensuring that nothing they create later will \u201cstep on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Matt Duffer joked with the cast about a potential return, saying, \u201cI would joke with our cast that in 20 years, if our careers have really floundered, if we need a paycheque, we can always crawl back, like another rift has opened in the Upside Down,\u201d he was quick to confirm it isn\u2019t a serious consideration. He insisted, \u201cWe\u2019ve said everything we want to say about those characters and the Upside Down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Season 5 will come out in three parts, with Volume 1 releasing on November 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The upcoming Netflix\u2019s Stranger Things Season 5 is the last and final season, but fans are hoping there…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":122704,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,1016,85956,111,139,69,60009,3197,60010,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-122703","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-entertainment-news","10":"tag-matt-duffer","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-ross-duffer","15":"tag-stranger-things","16":"tag-the-duffer-brothers","17":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
