Stranger Things has come to an end with Season 5, and fans have already begun discussing possible spin-offs. Sadly, the Duffer Brothers aren't very interested.

Stranger Things came to an end with its fifth and final season. While some viewers found the climax underwhelming, others described it as a wholesome and heartfelt goodbye to the characters. After the premiere of the season 5 finale, creators Matt and Ross Duffer spoke about the possibility of spin-offs and whether the original characters could return in the future. The journey of Stranger Things began in 2017, when audiences were introduced to the world of Hawkins and characters such as Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin). Over the seasons, the show expanded its ensemble with fan favourites like Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink), Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer), and Jim Hopper (David Harbour). As the series concluded, these characters had grown from children into adults. With the show wrapped up, the Duffer Brothers were asked whether the gang could ever reunite on screen.

During the IPL 2026 auctions in Abu Dhabi, KKR bought Mustafizur Rahman for Rs 9.2 crore, one of the highest during the auctions for a foreign player. 

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has found himself in the centre of attention with less than three months to go before the Indian Premier League (IPL) season starts. Shah Rukh, co-owner of IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has been slammed by ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sangeet Som. The former member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly has called Shah Rukh a “traitor” for buying Bangladesh player Mustafizur Rahman in the IPL auctions held in December. BJP slams Shah Rukh Khan "On one hand, Hindus are being killed in Bangladesh, and on the other hand, cricketers are being bought in the IPL. The traitorous film actor Shah Rukh Khan has bought Bangladeshi cricketer Rahman for Rs 9 crore. Such traitors have no right to live in this country," Som said during a public event in India’s Meerut.
