Entertainment news website Deadline reported on Wednesday that Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer (Stranger Things), also known as the Duffer Brothers, are working on a new live-action series adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's Death Note manga with Netflix at their newly formed studio Upside Down Pictures. Deadline states that this will be a "new take" from Netflix's previous live-action Death Note film (pictured right).
In Ohba and Obata's original 2003-2006 supernatural suspense manga, teenager Light Yagami finds a notebook with which he can put people to death by writing their names. He begins a self-anointed crusade against the criminals of the world, and a cat-and-mouse game begins with the authorities and one idiosyncratic genius detective.

so far all attempts at creating a good live action adaptation of "Death Note" had failed hilariously, i believe only the Japanese Live action was considered "okay"
although having the creators of Stranger Things behind it at least inspires some confidence this isn't going to be a total mess
