Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of the Netflix hit series "Stranger Things," have signed a four-year exclusive deal with Paramount Skydance, set to begin in April 2026 when their current Netflix contract expires. The agreement covers theatrical films, television, and streaming projects, reflecting the brothers' desire to focus more on theatrical film production. This move coincides with the upcoming conclusion of "Stranger Things" later in 2025. Paramount, which recently merged with Skydance, is undergoing a period of renewal and expansion in Hollywood. The Duffer Brothers' departure marks a notable shift in content creators moving from Netflix to other major studios.
