If you build it, they will come.

The Duffer brothers, better known as the creators of Stranger Things, seem to be taking this saying to heart.

Rather than going back on their promise of season 5 being the final season of the wildly popular sci-fi show, Matt and Ross Duffer simply decided to create a new Netflix series based in the Upside Down.

According to Variety, it will be a spinoff that's based in the creepy world fans of Stranger Things have come to know. The series will be under the Duffer brothers' new production company Upside Down Pictures.

The Stranger Things creators teased a possible spinoff following Volume 2's release, and the new project has since been confirmed by Ted Sarandos, the co-CEO and chief content officer of Netflix. "Matt and Ross are an exceptionally unique talent with a vision so crisp and clear," Sarandos said.

"They are all about the details – it’s no accident that Stranger Things has pierced the zeitgeist to become the epic pop culture phenomenon it is today. We’re excited to continue telling new stories with them as they grow Upside Down Pictures."

But a spinoff series isn't the only thing that the creative duo and Netflix have planned.
