I’m not convinced it would be capable of distancing itself enough from the original Stranger Things to actually be worth watching. Can they even work out what it is about the original show that has made it so successful? It has tried to do a lot of different things over the seasons and I wouldn’t say it has particularly excelled at any of them.
Honestly, one of the main reasons many people liked the first season was simply because this was one of the first shows in the streaming era to really do the 80s kids movie nostalgia bait thing. Any charm that theme once had is well and truly gone now, and the sci-fi and soap opera/teen drama stuff is nowhere near good enough to base a new series on.
