I’m Really Surprised To Hear The Duffer Brothers Are Ready To Move On From Stranger Things, But The Reason Why Is Giving Me All The Game Of Thrones Vibes

by

In reference to managing hit series such as “Stranger Things” or “Game of Thrones”, I often think of the phrase “with great power comes great responsibility.” These shows carry massive and fervent fanbases, which demand dedication and hard work from those in charge. It seems as though they walk a fine line between adoration and pressure, much like living within an ornate but restrictive enclosure.

As a devoted fan, I find myself reflecting on Matthew Modine’s statement about the Duffer Brothers’ plans to wrap up their hit Netflix show around 2025. It seems this decision resonates deeply with me, much like how the co-creator of Game of Thrones felt when parting ways with the fantasy series and stepping back from future projects.

Matthew Modine Said The Duffer Brothers Are Ready To Be Done With Stranger Things

You’re probably aware that Season 5 of “Stranger Things” is scheduled for 2025, signaling the conclusion of this captivating series. Excitement is running high as we eagerly await the release of some truly spectacular, extended episodes that the creative team has been crafting for more than a year. In an interview with ScreenRant, Matthew Modine, who plays Dr. Brenner, shared his excitement by stating, “It’s going to be fantastic!” However, he also hinted that the Duffers may be ready to embark on new projects, implying that this might mark the end of their journey with “Stranger Things.

Instead, they aim for grand achievements, then wish to move forward as there are numerous tales yet to be shared. This opportunity has been like a golden prison, offering them a fantastic experience, but they yearn to progress in life. They long to graduate, to step forward into their lives.

Over the past year and a bit, Matt and Ross Duffer have been sharing updates about filming Season 5, and now the finish line is nearly here. The cast and crew have put in an immense amount of effort into this project, so it’s understandable that Modine’s recent remarks, although surprising, are logical.

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I can empathize with the co-creators of Stranger Things as they pour their hearts into the series. Yet, I understand why they yearn to explore new creative territories – after all, they’ve invested countless hours and effort into this masterpiece. It feels reminiscent of the man behind Game of Thrones, doesn’t it? The need for fresh challenges is an inevitable part of being a visionary in our field.

Modine’s Comments Are In Line With How Game Of Thrones’ Co-Creator Felt About Ending Their Show

In 2022, as House of the Dragon was premiering, Game of Thrones co-creator D.B. Weiss discussed his involvement with the franchise. Despite numerous Game of Thrones spin-offs in development, he expressed no interest in being involved in them, telling Entertainment Weekly that he has no plans to be part of them.

For approximately eleven years, we dedicated ourselves fully to that show, pouring our energy into it each day without respite. It was an incredible decade for us, one that sometimes feels like a dream. However, as time went on, we felt a growing sense of clarity that the show’s world had offered us all it could, and it was time to embark on new adventures – ones filled with excitement and fear as we built not just one, but many new projects.

So don’t expect him to be involved with the latest spinoff, but do expect more work from him soon.

According to Modine’s remarks, it appears that the Duffers share a similar sentiment. Despite their undeniable passion for Stranger Things, it’s understandable why they are prepared to transition to new projects, and I have no doubt that Season 5 will be extraordinary.

For approximately ten years, they’ve dedicated themselves to perfecting this television series, making it their main focus. Given the high expectations and intense pressure associated with productions similar to “Stranger Things” and “Game of Thrones”, it can certainly feel like inhabiting an ornate yet confining prison.

In summary, I’m happy they will be moving forward soon. But prior to that, there’s still a visit to the Upside Down on our schedule. Just remember to keep your Netflix subscription active as Season 5 of “Stranger Things” is arriving.
