After Stranger Things' Finale Controversy, Will The Duffer Brothers’ New Show Break Netflix’s Top 10?

The party playing D&D in Mike's basement on last time in Stranger Things Season 5x08.

Believe it or not, nearly three full months have passed since the final credits rolled on Stranger Things, although the controversy over the finale extended well into the 2026 TV schedule. Some fans were so upset by the ending that they were all-in on the #ConformityGate theory about a secret real finale that would release in the new year. Now, after disappointing the #ConformityGate believers (and Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty), The Duffer Brothers' new Netflix show has debuted, and my question is how well Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen will do on the Top 10.

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen arrived for anybody with a Netflix subscription on March 26, with Matt and Ross Duffer on board as executive producers under their Upside Down Pictures production company, while Hunters' Haley Z. Boston is at the helm as writer and showrunner.
