The Stranger Things Spinoff Will Finally Explore the Rock in the Briefcase
In a recent interview with Variety, the Duffer Brothers revealed that they will start working on the Stranger Things spinoff this coming Monday, which is January 5, 2026. When asked about what it will be like, they mentioned that it will dig deeper into the mysterious rock that Henry Creel encountered in the cave. The Stranger Things original story didn’t leave any stone unturned to give us a story that will stay with us forever. And now it’s time for the spinoff to make sure that the fandom isn’t disappointed. It will explore the untouched territory that the audience deserves to learn about. Since the news has surfaced, there are several fans who claim that it would have been great if the series had explained the stone in the final season, instead of making us wait for the spinoff. A comment on X reads, “We wasted so many seasons with Vecna, I definitely don’t need Henry’s backstory anymore. We could’ve delved into all this instead of introducing Holly and the kids for half Season 5 for absolutely no good damn reason.’ ‘So they couldn’t finish their own show properly, and now they’re holding basic plot answers hostage behind a spinoff. Using a “rock in a briefcase” as a desperate tether to a dead franchise just proves they have zero original ideas left,’ reads another. The Duffer Brothers have never disappointed us with the original saga, and now let’s wait and see how they shape the ambitious spinoff. Name Email ID
