Their show has not evolved the story in any way since the original season. It’s a fun show that uses 80s nostalgia as a crutch but it was a total fluke.
Will be interesting to see if this is a good investment for Paramount. Stranger Things has been the Duffer Bros only real hit.
I may be wrong, but marketing seems to be one of the biggest expense for any media production, so having the “by the creators of Stranger Things” on anything probably is worth the cost.
Unless…
Excellent point.
Other than writing on Wayward Pines which did fine. Stranger Things is the only thing they have done.
How dare you Daredevil was the biggest series in Marvel history
What do the Duffer brothers have to do with Daredevil? I’m not seeing their involvement listed on Wikipedia or IMDb.
Your initial wording likely caused some confusion. The person responding to you probably thinks you were saying that “their” refers to Netflix and that you’re calling Stranger Things Netflix’s only hit.
Thanks. Edited post for clarity.
This show was good for one season I don’t get it.
Everybody jumping on the fascism bandwagon I suppose
I mean seriously Netflix is no better and will bow to Trump, too.
If only we had another option than rewarding their behavior, mateys
Says more about Parmpunt than the Duffer brothers. They’re desperate to get more people subscribing to paramount plus.
Aside from lots of legacy stuff, the only new stuff they have really offered is Star Trek and of that only really Strange New Worlds has done well and been an original for the service. Discovery faded and was on other services, and similar for other new star trek shows.
Paramounts TV biggest hit of recent years, Yellowstone, is on peacock. Meanwhile paramount plus’ big shows is largely old legacy stuff (Frasier, Cheers etc). CBS isn’t providing them with a compelling roster of shows to build a global streaming service. And I’m in the UK and the few CBS shows that have even vaguely done well globally aren’t even on paramount plus - Matlock for example was sold to rival Sky TV.
But they’ve signed a $1.5bn deal to bring South Park to paramount plus globally (which they had to bid for against other companies as they don’t have exclusive rights to sell the show which in part belongs to Matt Stone and Trey Parker even though they part own it).
It makes sense they’re also trying to get other new content onto the service. At the moment they’re an also ran in the streaming wars. Although tbh Netflix has already won the streaming wars and everyone else is just vying for second place.
