Stranger Things is another well-liked and successful series that is slated for a spin-off. The Hollywood Reporter disclosed earlier this year that an animated series with no name yet that takes place in the Stranger Things universe is now in development. If any cast members from the original show will be included in the new series, Matt and Ross Duffer have not made that clear. A second, as-yet-untitled live-action spin-off of Stranger Things is apparently in development in addition to the animated series.
