Ross Duffer went as far as calling it more of an anthology situation, revealing that, as far as the show’s spin-offs will go, "They’re going to live in a bit of a different world. There’s going to be connective tissue, but you’re almost anthologizing in a way. Because we’re not Star Wars. We can’t be like, ‘Oh, now we’re on this planet.’”
That would be for the best. Their biggest mistake was trying to follow the same characters and “explaining” stuff.
Hopefully it means the entire spin-off is an anthology, and not just that they’ll have a whole new cast of characters that they’d follow for seasons, but it’s not connected to the original show.
In contrast, the show Tales from the Loop does a good job of not explaining things to the audience. Something like that would be great.
It’s actually surprising that the Duffer brothers haven’t done anything else. Traditionally they would have slowly stepped away after the second season or so and started working on other projects.
The first season of Stranger Things was fantastic. The later season had their ups and downs, but overall have been great. I really give the Duffers credit for sticking with it.
I didn’t know until now.

I look forward to whatever they make next.
