Why fans of Stranger Things have reason to rejoice!

It looks like a spino of the Stranger ins hit Net ix sci series could be in development soon.

Creators Matt and Ross Du er recently spoke to Variety and revealed some details about a potential new project. “ ere’s a version of it developing in parallel [to season 5], but they would never shoot it parallel,” said Ross. “I think actually we’re going to start delving into that soon as we’re winding down and nishing these visual e ects, Matt and I are going to start getting into it.”

Matt added, “ e reason we haven’t done anything is just because you don’t want to be doing it for the wrong reasons, and it was just like, ‘Is this something I would want to make regardless of it being related to Stranger ings or not?’ And de nitely. Even if we took the Stranger ings title o of it, I’m so, so excited about it.”

Stranger ings is an American science ction horror drama television series created by the Du er Brothers that is streaming on Net ix. e brothers serve as showrunners and are executive producers along with Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. e rst season of the series was released on Net ix on July 15, 2016, with the second, third, and fourth seasons following in October 2017, July 2019, and May and July 2022, respectively. e series was renewed for a fth and nal season in February 2022.

Set in the 1980s primarily in the ctional town of Hawkins, Indiana, the series centers around numerous supernatural events occurring around the town, speci cally around their connection to a hostile alternate reality called the Upside Down after a link between it and Earth is made by a government child experimentation facility.

Nothing was said about a possible spin-o until actor Finn Wolfhard proposed an idea that the Du ers found intriguing.

“Finn Wolfhard, he wasn’t spitballing, he just went, ‘I think this would be a cool spin-o ,’” Ross recounted of the moment the actor correctly guessed what the new series would be. “And we were like, ‘How in the world...’” ere are no additional details on the spino at this time. However, we can at least be excited at how excited the Du er brothers seem.

Stranger ings has been all the buzz lately as fans await the last two episodes of Season 4.

When it was announced that Season 5 would be the show’s last, the Du ers teased that “there 15 are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger ings; new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes.”

The best documentaries on Netflix

6. e Keepers

ere are plenty of true crime documentaries on Net ix, but nothing has come close to e Keepers from 2017 . A staggering story, told across generations, that’s respectful of the victims, yet compelling throughout. It’s a story about the unsolved murder of Catherine Cesnik, a nun who taught at a Catholic school in Baltimore, but e Keepers goes further than you might expect and exposes a potential cover up of sex abuse allegations.

7.Who Killed Little Gregory

Who Killed Little Gregory (2019) is a documentary focused on the horri c murder of Grégory Villemin. It’s arguably the best true crime documentary on Net ix. It’s about a murder, and attempts to solve that murder, but it’s also a lesson in media representation and the horri c sexism Grégory’s mother had to face in the wake her own son’s murder. e Last Dance focuses on the Chicago Bulls during their 97d98 NBA title winning season, but really it’s a jumping oY point for a documentary that tells the life story of its central star, Michael Jordan. As a result, many criticised it for being a little too Jordanfocused, but e Last Dance was an event documentary that lived up to the hype.

9. 13th

13th by Ava Duvernay is a staggering documentary that tells the story of American slavery and its long- lasting impacts, many of which still resonate today. In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, this should be mandatory viewing.

10. e Tinder Swindler

A documentary focused on Shimon Hayut, AKA ‘Tinder Swindler’, a conman who used dating apps to defraud multiple women across Europe to fund a lavish lifestyle. A slightly di erent topic compared to most true crime documentaries on Net ix. De nitely worth a gander. Net ix

SENIORS BEATEN Dicksboro got the better of Clara in the semi final of the St. Canices Credit Union Senior Hurling League at Palmerstown last Wednesday. 2-24 to 1-24 was how it finished. It was a nice hurling game to watch but the Boro were a little livelier throughout and deserved their 3 point win. Team - Kevin Nolan, Sean O Shea, Jack Langton 0-1, Bill Carrigan. John Murphy 0-3, David Langton 0-2f, Matt Kenny. Liam Ryan 0-5, Conor O Shea 0-1. Paul Cody 0-3, James Nolan 1-4, Shane Staunton. Chris Bolger 0-1, Jason Byrne 0-4f. Subs used Evan Whearty, Dara Glynn, Joe Connolly. JUNIORS WIN Clara’s Juniors pulled o a great victory against Mooncoin on Tuesday of last week on home soil. This game must have le Mooncoin heading back down the motorway scratching their heads as they looked the more likely winners for long periods of the game. But Clara showed great resilience and their never say die attitude was rewarded when two late points by the Prendergast brothers Ciarán and Brian gave them a 1-19 to 1-18 victory. The first half was nip and tuck and it was Mooncoin who held an 0-11 to 0-10 lead at the break. They had seemed to be the better team but some resolute defending by the Clara men kept them in the game. Evan Whearty, Tom Ryan and James Casey were prominent at this juncture. Three early Joe Connolly frees saw Clara take the lead in the second half but Mooncoin struck back with a goal and a point to go three up. Joe Connolly from a free and a pumped up Killian Phelan pointed to reduce the deficit to the minimum before Mooncoin set sail for home with three unanswered points. Then Stephen Quinlan and Ciarán Prendergast began to dominate around the middle and Brian Nolan and Mick McDonald thundered into the game. Two points from Ciarán Prendergast and Joe Connolly cut the gap to two before a flowing move by the Clara men resulted in Dara Glynn firing low to the Mooncoin net.Mooncoin equalised again before the Prendergasts stepped up with their sweet late scores to clinch the victory. There was only time for a late Mooncoin free to close out the scoring before competent referee Paddy O’ Reilly blew the long whistle to end the game. A good hard fought win for the home side. Team - Jason Barcoe, Evan Whearty, Tom Ryan,Jack Carrigan. James Casey, Mick McDonald, Brian Nolan. Alan Coleman, Stephen Quinlan. Rory O Kee e, Joe Connolly 0-11, 0-8f, Killian Phelan 0-3. Bill Cody, Ben Nolan, Dara Glynn 1-2. Subs used Ciarán Prendergast 0-2, Brian Prendergast 0-1. COUNTRY CUP FINAL Clara School got o to a flyer in Nowlan Park last Wednesday evening and had three points on the board before Coon/ Muckalee opened their account. However once they did they gradually got on top and went on to a deserved 2-11 to 0-7 victory. The first half was very tight and the crucial score came a few minutes before the break when Jack Stapleton unleashed a crashing shot to the roof of Daniel O Brien’s net. A couple of minutes later the Coon/ Muckalee goalie made a terrific save to keep out a Ruairí Bowden-Mullen e ort. This enabled his team to go in at the interval 1-5 to 0-6 ahead. A point from standout captain Jamie Walsh was all that Clara could manage in the second half, while their opponents added a further 1-7 to their total to deservedly claim their first ever Country Cup. Clara never stopped trying and their mentors Richie Mulrooney and Paddy Deegan must have been proud of the e orts of this young team. No doubt they will be back next year to have another cut at this. Team - Daniel O Brien, Sam Lawlor, Sam Corr, Liam Treacy. Robert Coogan, Jamie Walsh 0-3, 0-1x 65, Mícheál Meany. Dara Leamy 0-1, Patrick McDonald. Jack Byrne 0-1, Cathal Bennett, Ciarán Gibbons. Matthew Cooke, Aaron Carrigan 0-2, Ruairí Bowden- Mullen. Subs James McDonald, Oliver Butler, Daniel Lynch, Jim Carrigan, Rory Treacy, Aidan Butler. U13 ROINN C LEAGUE CHAMPIONS Clara’s U13 hurlers had a resounding 7-13 to 2-6 win over the Emeralds in the final of the Duggan Steel Roinn C League on Friday in Dunmore. For a lot of these young fellows it was compensation for the defeat they su ered in the Country Cup Schools final a couple of evenings previously. LONG PUCK Congratulations to Killian Phelan, representing Kilkenny GAA, on winning the Leinster GAA Final in the Poc Fada on Saturday 25th June. In tough windy conditions at The Nine Stones in Carlow Killian led the way from an early stage, fighting o close competition from Carlow and Dublin. John Prendergast travelled with Killian to mark for him. Killian will now compete in the National Final on the Cooley Mountains in August. Well done Killian! SENIOR CAMOGIE Clara were rather unfortunate to lose by a point to Piltown in Clara last Wednesday. With just the bare 15 players available to them, they just didn’t get the breaks they needed to get over the line. Team - Rachel Whelan, Aine McDonald, Laoise Nolan, Katie Ryan. Margaret Kehoe, Rebecca Nolan, Lucy Cody. Aisling Nolan, Siobhán Curtis. Emma Corr, Margaret O Connell, Joanne Comerford. Aoife Treacy, Keara Ryan, Peig Carrigan. COUNTY Well done to Mary O Connell who lined out for Kilkenny in the senior camogie championship on Saturday in Nowlan Park. The Cat’s win over O aly guarantees their progression in this years competition. Good luck to Kilkenny selector Conor Phelan and the whole squad as they try to plot victory over Clare in this Saturday’s All Ireland semi final at Croke Park.

In the first leg PJ le 48 while Liz was on 132, Liz went in and hit Treble 20 Treble 20 and Double 6 to win the leg and the crowd went mad, cheering and clapping for Liz a er her fantastic finish. On to the last 16 games, PJ Byrne and Trevor Vallely played the first game and it was a great game, PJ Byrne took out a 156 to go 1 leg up but Trevor kept hitting high scores and his finishing was great, so Trevor went on to win the game 3 / 1. The next game was between Mick Kelly and Tommy Cleere, Mick got o to a great start winning the first 2 legs but Tommy played brilliant darts to get it back to 2 legs all but Mick hit a 14 darter to seal the win. The 3rd last 16 game was between Mick Dwyer Jnr and Jim Shanahan, although Jim played very well against Mick Jnr, he just couldn’t hit his doubles and Mick Jnr went on to win the game 3 / 0 . On to the next game and what a game it was, Kieran Lennon against Cian Cullen, Kieran is playing fantastic darts at the moment but Cian is finishing unreal, in one of his legs he hit a 14 dart leg taking out 86 with 2 darts, Cian went on to win the game 3 / 1. The next game was between David Murphy and Billy Murphy, David is on top of the league at the moment but it made no di erence to Billy, he played brilliant darts in the game but David showed why he’s on top by fighting back to win the game 3 / 2 . Ritchie O Hanlon and Eric Boczon was the 6th game and it was a ding dong battle all the way, Eric won the first leg, Ritchie won the next 2 legs and Eric won the 4th leg to set up a final leg, Ritchie took out the last leg in 15 darts to secure the win. On to the penultimate game and it saw Tommy Dalton against Michael ( Sully) O Sullivan, Tommy, as I said last week is throwing brilliant darts at the moment and showed glimpses of it in the game, Sully played good darts against Tommy but couldn’t finish in 2 o the legs and he paid the price for it, Tommy went on to win the game 3 / 1. The final game in the last 16 was between Kieran Furlong and Mickey O Kee e, Kieran is up to number 4 in the league table at the moment and is playing brilliant darts, he took out a great 148 to win the 4th leg to make the game 2 / 2, but Micky pulled out all the stops to win the last leg and go on to win the game. Down to the Q / Final’s, the first Q / Final game was between Trevor Vallely and Mick Kelly, Mick won the first leg with a brilliant 13 darter but it wasn’t enough for him to win the game as Trevor played brilliant, Trevor took out a fantastic 161 hitting Treble 20 Treble 17 and the Bull to go 2 / 1 ahead and then finished o the game with a 15 darter. The 2nd Q / Final was between Mick Dwyer Jnr and Cian Cullen, the 2 local players put on a show for anyone watching it , Cian started better than Mick Jnr by taking the first 2 legs but Mick Jnr is well known for his battleing qualities and brought the game back to 2 / 2 , going into the final leg it was any ones game to win, Cian started o great but Mick Jnr hit top from and went on to win the final leg. The 3rd Q / Final saw David Murphy and Ritchie O Hanlon play, Ritchie took o as if he was going to wipe the floor with David, he started with a 14 darter and then he had a 13 darter to go 2 / 0 up , David Murphy is not one known to give up and by God he didn’t, he rattled o 3 legs on the trot throwing fantastic darts, he hit a 15 darter a 14 darter and closed out the game with another 15 darter to win the game 3 / 2 , Ritchie O Hanlon played great darts all night but he came up against David Murphy at the top of his game. The last Q / Final was between Tommy Dalton and Mickey O Kee e another game between 2 local players, Mickey played great stu winning the first leg but it was the only leg he won as Tommy who I said earlier is playing unbelievable at the moment, deserves to be in the S / Final. The first S / Final was Trevor Vallely verse’s Mick Dwyer Jnr , this game had everything from high scoring and high finishing, Trevor started o with the best leg of the night hitting an unbelievable 11 dart leg real TV stu , not to be outdone Mick Jnr then hit a 138 finish and then followed that finish with a brilliant 144 check out, Trevor hit back by taking the 4th leg to make it 2 legs all, going into the final leg Trevor threw great darts to put Mick Jnr out, very hard luck to Mick Jnr who played very good darts all night. The last S / Final was between David Murphy and Tommy Dalton, this was a game that if it was on TV everyone would be talking about, David Murphy went in and had a 16 darter then Tommy went in and had a 15 darter, Tommy then had another 15 darter to go 2 legs to 1 up but David came in and had a 14 darter to make it 2 legs all, Tommy won the game with another 16 darter to make the final, David Murphy is probably throwing the best darts he has for a long time. On to the Final, Trevor Vallely against Tommy Dalton, who ever won this game would become the 7th di erent player to win the final on the night, Trevor got o to a great start winning the first 2 legs but Tommy hit back by winning the 3rd leg, Tommy missed a shot at a double to make it 2 legs each and Trevor didn’t give him another shot as he took out the Double 20 to seal the game, Tommy Dalton is a player to watch in the future as he is playing brilliant darts at the moment. I will see ye all on Friday night for another great night of Darts.
