Stranger Things.The fan rumour – per Variety – suggests that the events that take place within Stranger Things are not reality, and are instead what happens in a game of Dungeons & Dragons that Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson and Will Byers began playing at the start of the first season.Speaking to Metro, the Duffer Brothers laughed off the theory, first playing along before emphatically shutting it down. Matt joked: “That is correct.

Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, who are known as the Duffer Brothers, are shooting down a theory about the series finale.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Stranger Things” creators Matt and Ross Duffer are shutting down at least one fan theory about the upcoming ending to their blockbuster Netflix series. On the red carpet for the new “Stranger Things” play in London, the duo went on record to Metro saying the series will not end with a reveal that all the events in the Upside Down were just a dream. One fan theory about the “Stranger Things” ending alleges all the events on screen during the show’s run were actually just the main characters playing an elaborate and very long game of Dungeons and Dragons, a favorite among the characters since the show’s first season.

The Duffer brothers just shot down a prevailing fan theory about how Stranger Things could be ending.

Stranger Things is now a stage play in London and a star-studded crowd stepped out for the world premiere’s opening night performance.

David Benedict “We need something a little theatrical.” Boy, does excited Bob Newby (Christopher Buckley) get his wish. He’s trying to solve a staging problem in “The Dark of the Moon,” the school play he and the other kids are secretly putting on in Hawkins, Ind., in 1959. But audiences watching “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” will likely greet the line with a wry smile because immense, intense theatricality is there for all to see.

the streamer’s freshman attempt at a stage play is a huge, insufferable embarrassment.Mega-fans of the TV series, like me, will be extremely disappointed by how the live show, which opened Thursday night at the Phoenix Theatre in London, epically fails to conjure the magic and small-town charm of the Duffer brothers’ popular creation. Three hours, plus an intermission.

EXCLUSIVE: The Stranger Things stage show, an unbelievably brilliant new blueprint for theatricality that premieres in London’s West End tonight, will be the first instalment in a trilogy exploring the dark underbelly of Hawkins, Indiana.

In their announcement, NewJeans revealed that they will be performing two of their hit songs – ‘Super Shy’ and ‘ETA’ – live from Seoul, South Korea.This will make NewJeans the first-ever K-pop female act to be part of the line-up for Dick Clark’s, and the fourth K-pop act overall, following BTS, J-hope and Tomorrow X Together.

Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer have teased what to expect from the show’s final season.Ahead of filming on the fifth season in January, the Duffer Brothers detailed how the final episodes share some similarities with the first season – now the whole gang is back in Hawkins.“This season – it’s like season one on steroids,” Matt Duffer told the Guardian. “It’s the biggest it’s ever been in terms of scale, but it has been really fun, because everyone’s back together in Hawkins: the boys and Eleven interacting more in line with how it was in season one.“And yes, there may be spin-offs, but the story of Eleven and Dustin and Lucas and Hopper, their stories are done here.”Elsewhere in the interview, Matt and Ross explained how they had been rewatching shows from the past 30 years for tips on “how to land the plane safely”.“Endings of shows are like opening a restaurant in terms of the success-failure rate – there’s an 80 per cent failure rate, I’d say,” Matt said.

January 8 is reportedly a target date, with January 5 also being mentioned.The cast are believed to be in Atlanta, where the show is filmed, for prep work and table reads in the next couple of weeks.Filming was slated to start earlier this year but was delayed by over seven months due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
