"It's early days but we're excited about it," says Matt Duffer. "It's new characters and a new mystery, so it's different, but it will be in the same world as Stranger Things."

The pair feel that there is more to explore, but Matt's twin brother Ross explains they always saw the original story as a self-contained arc and it's definitely "the end for these characters".

The clarity around the ending had always been part of the plan, and Matt says the final scene "was the one thing we had planned from the start".

"We always knew what we were working towards so it was like our north star and we built the whole season around the final scene."
