The Duffer brothers, creators of Netflix's 'Stranger Things," told Vulture magazine that a third season is already assured and they may do fourth and that's all, folks.

“We’re thinking it will be a four-season thing and then out,” Ross Duffer said, one of twin brothers.

Season two, shot in metro Atlanta, returns October 27.

Read an extensive take on the Duffer brothers and their hit show here.

As for season two, which centers on Will, the boy who disappeared into the alternate dimension know as the Upside Down, and the repercussions of his return, all they'll reveal is that "we wanted to push things a bit," says Ross. "I told Matt, 'I don't want to call it season two, I just want it to feel like a movie sequel.' If you have a successful movie, No. 2 is always a little bit bigger."
