The Duffer Brothers have confirmed a Stranger Things spin-off that will explore the mysterious rock linked to Henry Creel’s transformation into Vecna. The new project will feature an entirely fresh world, mythology, and characters, with no returns from the original cast

Still from Stranger Things
Quick Read
The New Year began with the conclusion of Stranger Things after nine and a half years for fans of the Netflix series. The Right Side Up wrapped up the stories of all the major characters, after Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Will (Noah Schnapp), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Joyce (Winona Ryder), and the rest of the Hawkins heroes ventured into the Abyss to defeat the Mind Flayer and kill Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) once and for all. Over the seasons, the story opened several narrative threads. However, not all of them received a conclusive ending.
One of the biggest questions viewers were left with after the finale episode was whether Eleven is truly dead and the origin of the mysterious rock for which Henry Creel killed a man in the cave.
