Okay, let’s get real. That buzz about Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown turned down a $12 million spinoff offer? Total myth. The writers behind the show just shut down The Daily Mail’s report with a no-nonsense response. They clarified that Brown isn’t hopping back into an Eleven spinoff because that’s not the plan.
Matt and Ross Duffer—those guys who built Stranger Things into the pop culture monster it is—already said in July 2022 that any spinoff would be fresh and different. No retreads, no old storylines. They weren’t about to just rerun the same Eleven drama. Their idea? It’s a new take on the Stranger Things world, packed with new characters, vibes, and surprises.

But The Daily Mail’s story had people thinking Millie might return as Eleven for a spinoff movie, and that is not happening. The writers ensured fans knew that while Stranger Things might stay connected to the Upside Down, the spinoff would explore areas of the universe we haven’t seen before. Fresh threats, unexpected twists, and maybe a glimpse into parts of Hawkins’s history—or beyond—that we’ve only heard about.
We don’t know where the new spinoff will go, but the Duffers seem set on breaking the mold. Maybe it’ll be put before the whole Hawkins mess started, maybe sometime in the early 2000s, or perhaps somewhere unexpected. Either way, the point is that it’ll be a different vibe.
It’s about keeping Stranger Things from getting stale. The Duffers aren’t about cheap retreads—they want something new, something bold. The idea is to expand the universe freshly and authentically while still packing in the suspense and surprises we love.
As Stranger Things grows beyond the original show, viewers are left with a compelling question: How far can the series take us beyond the Upside Down and Hawkins? One thing’s certain—the upcoming spinoff will do it differently. Fresh characters, fresh threats, fresh everything. And let’s face it—who wouldn’t want a new twist on a beloved universe with surprises lurking around every corner?
