The Upside Down is going to get a bit more bleak for fans of Netflix's "Stranger Things."
Season 3 of the hit series will likely be the last for the Duffer Brothers, the showrunners and creators of the fan-favorite show, according to a source with knowledge of the production.
Should this come to pass, the third season will be the last to feature the Duffers in the same active capacity as in previous seasons. Meaning they will likely oversee the writers room and contribute scripts while directing at least the Season 3 premiere and finale. (Should their be more seasons after their departure, they will retain the traditional Executive Producer credit.)
According to our source, Matt and Ross Duffer's deal with Netflix requires at least two more projects from the prolific talents, and starting to develop and produce one of those is a significant factor behind their eventual parting of ways from Eleven and Co.
We're also hearing that the Duffer Brothers, who made their mark early in their careers with a popular feature spec called "Hidden" that was made into a very little-seen 2015 film, have taken meetings in Hollywood regarding potentially directing another feature film.
Their departure does not necessarily mean that "Stranger Things" ceases to produce new episodes after Season 3; the show could likely go on after its creators leave -- as many shows have done before (think "Lost" and "Alias.")
While there is a chance "Stranger Things" could call it quits after a third season, it's seemingly unlikely as of press time.
So if there are more stories to tell in Hawkins, Indiana, you can bet your Eggos they will be told with the help of a new showrunner.
"Stranger Things'" third season, which will consist of eight episodes, is expected to air sometime in 2019.
