Matt and Ross Duffer – the creators of Stranger Things – will stand trial after being accused of stealing the plot of their hit Netflix series.
If Kessler’s lawsuit is successful, the Duffer brothers and Netflix will be expected to destroy all materials based on the story they have allegedly plagiarised.
The plot read as follows: “In the series, set in 1980 Montauk, Long Island, a young boy vanishes into thin air.
The series – announced as being written and directed by the Duffer brothers – later relocated its action to the fictional town of Hawkins in Indiana.
