The Duffer brothers, creators of Stranger Things, say the show will go on, but only till its natural breaking point
Twin brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, the brains behind Netflix’s hit science-fiction horror show, Stranger Things, talk about their “Barb-like” high school days, meeting the expectations of their demanding fans and about ending the show when the time is right.
Q. Stranger Things is set in a small town in Indiana. Did you imagine the show would resonate with audiences the world over?
Well, you never know how these things will resonate, but that was certainly the hope. We think the idea of the ordinary meeting the extraordinary resonates universally. It’s exciting for anyone to imagine themselves getting swept away from their normal lives and into a crazy adventure.
Q. The show celebrates its love for the nerds and the underdogs. Were you nerds in school?
We were absolutely nerds in high school! While most kids were into sports, we were making movies and acting in plays (although we were terrible actors). In general, our high school experience was very...Barb-like.
