The Duffer Brothers, Matt and Ross, creators of the global hit series Stranger Things (2016-2025), have signed an exclusive four-year pact with Hollywood studio Paramount.
The deal, announced by Paramount on Tuesday, will cover feature films, television, and streaming projects, according to an entertainment news outlet.

It marks a major coup for the media company as it seeks to strengthen its creative roster after it was acquired by David Ellison-led Skydance Media earlier this year.
Matt and Ross Duffer, who will move to Paramount from Netflix next year, are among the most sought-after creators in Hollywood. Upcoming projects will be developed through their production company, Upside Down Pictures, led by the brothers and their producing partner and president of the company, Hilary Leavitt. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining the Paramount family. To be part of that mission is not just exciting — it’s the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. And to do so at a studio with such a storied Hollywood legacy is a privilege we don’t take lightly,” the Duffer Brothers said in a statement.
Earlier this month, on the first day of its merger, Paramount revealed that it had roped in actor Timothée Chalamet and director James Mangold for a motorcross
heist film.
