In 2017, a live-action movie of the popular anime ‘Death Note’ was released, but it failed so badly that many spin-off projects were shelved. However, the creators of Stranger Things, The Duffer Brothers, decided to take this project back to develop it in serial format and release it in Netflix.
The series announced in July, for now, continues to add names to its production. In addition to brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, he is also joined by Halia Abdel-Meguid on the scripts and Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Jonathan Eirich and Miri Yoon as co-executive producers.
