Finn Wolfhard Compares 'Stranger Things' Spinoff to 'Twin Peaks'

ATLANTA, AUG 5 – Finn Wolfhard uniquely predicted the Duffer brothers' anthology-style spin-off concept tied to the Upside Down mythology, a detail unknown to Netflix and other cast members.

  • During the finale, Ross Duffer told Variety that Finn Wolfhard correctly guessed the spin-off's concept amid a crowd including Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos.
  • Initially, the Duffer brothers shared in late 2022 that Netflix revealed two spin-offs, and Ross Duffer noted Wolfhard had already guessed their idea.
  • When asked about the spin-off, Wolfhard told Variety it would be `Like David Lynch’s Twin Peaks,' a mix of anthology and different tones within the Upside Down universe.
  • After hearing Wolfhard's idea, Ross Duffer told the outlet that no one else — not Netflix, not any of the producers, not any of the directors, not any of the actors — was able to figure out the plot, he said.
  • Looking ahead to release, Stranger Things Season 5 debuts Volume 1 on November 26, 2025, with Netflix considering future spin-offs given its popularity.
