A judge denied to summary judgment to the Duffer brothers in a case brought by a writer who claims they stole his concept and turned it into ‘Stranger Things.’
No one was exactly surprised that Stranger Things’ breakout success would lead to additional episodes in Season 2, though at least one felt pretty extraneous. Well, we can expect a tighter turnaround in Season 3, as producers officially confirm the next round of episodes will be trimming down.
Netflix may never fully quantify its viewership for different series, but it’s a fair bet that Stranger Things marks one of their biggest successes. So much so, in fact, that Nielsen ratings have produced data claiming that Season 2 earned upwards of fifteen million views for its premiere, and impressive numbers for all nine episodes.
The monster-verse is slowly getting invaded by NWA — at least, by the actors who played them. Both Jason Mitchell (Eazy E) and Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre) had supporting roles in Kong: Skull Island, and today, not wanting to miss out on the fun, O’Shea Jackson Jr. is in talks to join the Godzilla sequel Godzilla: King of Monsters.
