Hollywood is in a constant search of the next big universe to expand on. Ever since Marvel Studios blew off the doors of Cinematic Universes, everyone else has been looking to replicate it. Whenever there’s the smallest whiff of success, you can bet someone out there is trying to leverage that to create an entire universe.

Regarding this trend, Stranger Things creators Ross Duffer and Matt Duffer were asked if they could envision their series to expand in a similar way — or if they could foresee the show as more of an anthology.

Ross: It’s not Star Wars. You’re not really creating this giant universe. Right now it’s very specific to this town of Hawkins and these kids.

Matt: The title means it could carry over into other supernatural-style stories that aren’t specifically related to these events, but it’s hard to know. We’ve spent maybe 10 minutes talking about that.

Ross: You see a lot of that in Hollywood. It’s dangerous because everyone is trying to create these universes that span multiple films, but they haven’t even built the foundation. Star Wars had to be built. We’re looking at those mistakes.

Matt: Let’s do one good series. Then, if we don’t manage to mess that up, we can talk beyond that. We don’t have that J.J. Abrams gene — for good or bad.

This is a very refreshing take on the matter. If you look at other filmmakers, they’ve often very excited to take things to another level, but these two seem to have their heads on straight, and are realistic about the amount of effort it would take to do this right.
