Stranger Things is NEVER Ending... | Clownfish TV

Stranger Things has ended. Long live Stranger Things. The body isn't even cold yet, and Netflix is already announcing a slew of spinoffs and tie-in media. And all those unanswered questions from the finale? Yeah, you're gonna have to watch the NEW series to know what's up with that.

Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

Theatrical Performance of the Finale: The Stranger Things finale generated between $25 million and $30 million in concession cash for movie theaters, with AMC alone accounting for $15 million (1:35). This was achieved by selling concession vouchers rather than tickets due to contractual terms for cast residuals (2:42).

Netflix's Strategy for Theatrical Releases: The video expresses skepticism about Netflix's long-term commitment to theatrical releases, especially if its acquisition of Warner Brothers goes through. The hosts believe Netflix will prioritize its streaming service over traditional theatrical windows, potentially harming the theater business (3:55).

Spin-off Explaining a Major Plot Hole: A new Netflix spin-off will reportedly explain the origin of the "magic rock" that turned Henry Creel evil, a plot point briefly seen in Stranger Things season 5 and introduced in the stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow (0:30, 5:41). This spin-off is expected to build its own mythology, potentially tying into historical events like the Roswell incident or government experiments (7:30, 8:49).

New Animated Series and Tie-in Books: An animated Stranger Things cartoon show, "Tales from '85," is in the works, seemingly aiming to recapture the essence of the show's earlier seasons (0:45, 9:09). Additionally, a Nancy Wheeler mystery book series, reminiscent of Nancy Drew, is being released (0:57, 11:43).

Fan Reactions and Concerns: Some fans are concerned that plot answers are being held for spin-offs, viewing it as a move to "milk" the franchise for money rather than providing a satisfying conclusion to the main series (8:17, 10:35). The hosts also felt the final season of the main show felt "phoned in" and lacked the sincerity of earlier seasons (1:10, 10:22).
