Duffer Brothers Deny Deleted-Scenes Rumors and Tease New ‘Stranger Things’ Spinoff

They reject claims of cut footage, describing the finale as intentionally open to interpretation.

Overview

  • The creators told Collider there were no deleted scenes in Season 5, adding the series has only ever cut one scene back in Season 1.
  • They said the final episode’s ending was designed to be read by viewers rather than definitively explained.
  • A live-action spinoff is in development with entirely new characters and a distinct mythology, according to remarks to Variety and Today.
  • The new project will address select lingering questions from the franchise but will not be set in Montauk, which the finale referenced as a fan wink.
  • Audience reaction remains polarized, with continued debate over unresolved threads and the level of closure provided.
