Netflix and Paramount are fighting on Duffer brothers – what does this mean for strange things?

Just months Before the last season of “Stranger Things” was shown on the first show On Netflix, creators in the Matt and Ross Duffer series entered into negotiations with the competing PARAMOUNT company for what could be a comprehensive deal for future projects. Matthew Peloni From Puck News has tweeted the report, which has since confirmed by various commercial publications. If so, there is an opportunity that the fans can experience a change in what many still see as a privilege of Netflix- which is one with a certain accident, “Stranger Things: Tales from ’85”, on the road, and another living show in development.

In addition to these projects, which would transform “strange things” from a series of series with smaller media connections to a suitable cinematic/television world, Duffers has a completely related chain to Netflix in 2026: a series of science fiction called “The Boroughs” and “Bill Pullman”. The eight hateful actress Jennifer Jason Lee. With all those who arrived next year, Duffers could be completely free to move to a new house if they want to reach a deal.

Of course, all this is still in the negotiation stage, and the money is likely to be the decisive factor. Paramount recently got the flow of capital by merged with SkydanceThe company has announced plans to increase the number of theatrical films it produces, in the hope of release 20 annual films, unlike 11-14 in the recent year. (Interestingly, the Duffers deal with Paramount will include new films in addition to television projects.) At the same time, there is a personal withdrawal to move to Duffers, where the current Paramount President of Broadcasting, Cindy Holland, Vice President of the original content at Netflix was obtained when “Stranger Things” was first obtained by the platform.

As far as we knew, IP remains firmly in the hands of Netflix. This means that even if the Duffer brothers move to Paramount, Netflix can continue technically in producing new content in the universe created by Duffers, including The live “Stranger Things” series that has not yet done an operation. Some fans may wander around this possibility, but it will certainly not be the first time that creators have left the main type of type or sold the intellectual property to follow up.

However, the Netflix investment in the two, both in the construction of “Stranger Things” and the development of new projects, indicates that the company will do its best to keep their talents to move forward. Despite its popularity, “Stranger Things” was not without its own issues in recent years, most notably the long gaps between recent seasons, which have become notorious. However, this Vandum has not been deterred much, and in the modern era of the privilege, it is difficult to find another IP in Netflix with future capabilities.

Since this is still everything in the air, there is also the possibility that Duffers can continue to work on “strange things” in a side along with a new deal in Paramount, but the reports make it look like Paramount looking for more kind of agreement or nothing. It is difficult to see the case for them to pay the top of the dollar to only part of the creative package.

In the aftermath of Skydance, Paramount emphasized a renewed focus on increasing both broadcasting and drawing, with the leadership of the new CEO David Elison. Ellison told Al -Sahafa newspaper shortly after the merger (expressed Delivery date). “Great film makers make great movies. For us, we will expand the content content of our strategic broadcasting service as well as studios.”

The strategy of targeting big creators of huge deals is one of Netflix itself familiar with it. In the latter case, these contracts produced mixed returns. The high heights include “Bridgerton”, as a result of the huge Stuner deal with Shonda Rhimes, while a similar group with “American horror story” produced the creator Ryan Murphy more than the strikes.

according to diverseParamount specifically targets Duffers to produce “Tentpole Movies” – a different way from what they made their name in Netflix, but may not be unwanted. Since the beginning of the show, the brothers classified “strange things” as a series of long films, and their names can be identified as columns for each of the theatrical wings and broadcasting of the new pummont, depending on the possible nodes.

If there is nothing else, the negotiations show that the wars of broadcasting and the big battles in the studio in the past decades are not cool. Paramount runs a big play trying to collide with one of the biggest success stories in Netflix. It remains to see whether this effort will pay its fruits.
