The Duffer Brothers who created the streaming megahit Stranger Things will give their first late-night interview in more than eight years when they visit The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Matt and Ross Duffer will visit The Tonight Show Wednesday, December 17, capping a weeks-long parade of Stranger Things talent through the NBC talker.
Most recently, series front woman Millie Bobby Brown co-hosted The Tonight Show on December 7. Preceding her as guests were castmates Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, Noah Schnapp and Natalia Dyer.
Finn Wolfhard is next to visit with Fallon, on Tuesday, December 16, ahead of the Duffers’ appearance.
The Duffers’ Tonight Show appearance comes just over a week ahead of Netflix’s Christmas Day release of Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 2. The 125-minute series finale then drops New Year’s Eve, on Netflix and in select theaters.
To date, Matt and Ross Duffer have been quite scarce on late-night TV. They were guests on Last Call With Carson Daly in October 2017, but outside of that, they only have “appeared” on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers more than six years ago, when series star David Harbour decided to FaceTime with his bosses mid-interview.
The release of Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 1 delivered the biggest premiere week for an English-language show in the history of Netflix, amassing 59.6 million views and securing No. 1 on the English TV list. All told, all five seasons of Stranger Things surged onto the English TV list that week, with the first season at No. 3 (with 8.9 million views), Season 4 at No. 5 (6.1 million views), Season 2 at No. 6 (5.6 million views), and Season 3 at No. 8 (4.6 million views).
