Stranger Things cocreator Ross Duffer navigated a split from wife Leigh Janiak while in production on season 5 of the hit Netflix series. Duffer and Janiak met in 2006 when they worked as an intern and producer's assistant, respectively, at a Los Angeles production company. The pair tied the knot nearly a decade later and found individual success as screenwriters. Ross and his brother, Matt Duffer, became household names as cocreators, showrunners, executive producers and directors for Stranger Things.
