Duffer Brothers On The New Series
Matt and Ross Duffer said in a press note cited by Variety, “We've been dreaming of ‘Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure' for many years now, and to see it become a reality is surreal and exhilarating. We're so grateful to our incredible team of collaborators: our showrunner Kate Trefry, who has been in the trenches with us since Season 2 and wrote ‘Stranger Things: The First Shadow,' and our director, Joe Wright, a brilliant artist whose work we've long admired. We can't wait for you to see what they're cooking up. It's Stranger Things, but also thrillingly fresh, with a new setting, new heroes and villains, and new… actually, we're not allowed to say any more. Now, on to casting. In the meantime, watch the skies, nerds!”
In the same statement, Kate Trefry said, “The Duffer Brothers gave me my first paying job in Hollywood, and it has been a joy and a fever dream ever since. Now, it is my insane honor and privilege to be bringing this new chapter of ‘Stranger Things' to life alongside them and our incredible director Joe Wright. With the support of Netflix and 21Laps, we have had the time of our lives returning to all the horror, wonder and mystery of the flagship, while also telling a wholly new story, one we hope will blow your minds and break your hearts all over again. There are so many more mysteries to explore. Welcome to ‘Other Worlds.'”
Shawn Levy On Other Worlds
Shawn Levy of 21 Laps added, “All of us at 21Laps are thrilled and privileged to be continuing the storytelling legacy of ‘Stranger Things.' With ‘Other Worlds,' the Duffer Brothers and Kate Trefry craft a new ensemble and adventure that is imbued with the DNA of our flagship series while exploring a new era, setting and all-new characters, themes and mythology, the seeds of which may have been planted in Hawkins, but now venture into other worlds of spectacle, action and emotion.”
