Back in August,The Goldbergscreator proclaimed on Twitter that he is “100% game” for acrossover betweenhis ABC series and Netflix’s white-hot sci-fi seriesStranger Things, which was given the seal of approval byStranger ThingsproducerShawn Levy. It seems that this crossover is more than just Twitter talk, withAdam F. Goldbergrevealing in a new interview that he does have an idea of how this crossover just may work. Here’s what he had to say below.
“The crossover I want to do isStranger Things. I have a scenario in my head that I don’t want to spoil. The producer of [his upcoming ABC comedy]Imaginary Mary[Shawn Levy] is also a producer and director of one of the episodes ofStranger Things. We’ve discussed what that would look like, which is really cool.”
This revelation came in a new interview withTV Line, although, unfortunately,Adam F. Goldbergwould not reveal any details about his crossover plans withShawn Levy. It isn’t known ifNetflixwould be on board with this crossover, and if they would allow their young stars to pay a visit toThe Goldbergs. The ABC series is no stranger to referencing movies and TV shows, with their Season 4 premiere airing tonight paying homage to the 1980s classicThe Breakfast Club.
BothThe GoldbergsandStranger Thingsare both set in the 1980s, withThe Goldbergsset in Philadelphia andStranger Thingsset in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. It’s worth noting thatStranger Thingscreators TheDuffer Brothers, originally wanted to call the series Montauk and have the show set in Long Island, here the infamous Montauk monster surfaced years ago. The show’s filming locations in and around Atlanta, Georgia could not pass for a beach environment, so they changed it to Hawkins, Indiana.
We reported last week that production seems to be under way onStranger Things Season 2, which will span nine episodes, will be set in the year 1984, one year after the events of the first season.Winona Ryder,David Harbour,Finn Wolfhard,Gaten Matarazzo,Caleb McLaughlin,Natalia DyerandCharlie Heatonare set to return. It’s possible that, after filming Season 2, theStranger Thingskids could be available for a crossover in the back half ofThe GoldbergsSeason 4, but nothing is set in stone yet.
