Matt and Ross Duffer are eyeing an overall deal at the studio, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The Duffers became name-brand creators when the first season of Stranger Things bowed in 2016 and has since become a crown jewel for the streaming service. The move would reunite them with Cindy Holland, who championed Stranger Things during her time at Netflix and is now oversees streaming at Paramount, but the deal would also include theatrical feature films. Whether or not a deal consummates, it is a major flex from the new Skydance-owned Paramount and comes one week after David Ellison assumed control of the company, with the CEO telling reporters Wednesday, "One of our biggest priorities is restoring Paramount as the No. 1 destination for the most talented artists and filmmakers in the world." Matt Thunell, head of the new Paramount TV Studios, also worked with the Duffers at Netflix. The final season of Stranger Things bows in three parts, with the first batch arriving Nov. 26 (four episodes), the second on Christmas (three episodes) and the finale on New Year's Eve.
