Matt and Ross Duffer, creators of Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things, are leaving the streaming giant for Paramount Pictures after a four-year deal. The brothers will focus on producing and directing large-scale theatrical films under their new contract. Despite announcing their departure from Netflix in April 2026, they have expressed gratitude towards the platform, which has provided them with creative freedom and support. Their upcoming projects, including Stranger Things season five, The Boroughs, and an animated spinoff, will continue on Netflix.
