Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
The Duffer Brothers Look Into the Future
They discuss their thoughts about adapting The Talisman as a series.
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
Very interesting and encouraging. I would think that the source material is in very good hands with all those folks involved. Certainly, Speilberg giving the blessing and being involved lays a solid groundwork for the, Duffer brothers to work with, no?
To me this is very good news.............................................. ...........once again!! lol

https://deadline.com/2022/07/strange...ve-1235058041/Well, if you can believe it, we’re really into Stephen King, and this was the ultimate. Our friend Curtis Gwinn, one of the main writers on Stranger Things actually asked if we’d be interested in getting involved. There was a show that he was talking with Amblin about. We were immediately excited. We loved The Talisman. It may be the last great ’80s Stephen King book that has not been previously adapted, and that’s only because Amblin and Spielberg have held onto it for as long as they have.
They own the rights, and they haven’t allowed any version to get made up to hopefully now. It’s a huge book, it’s really long and I don’t think it would ever have really worked effectively as a movie. Until recently, I don’t think it would have worked as television. It’s like we’re in this new era now where there’s a kind of a merging of television shows that feel and look like movies because they’re getting these pretty big budgets behind them.
So, something like Talisman that even five years ago was not doable, is very doable now. It involves a lot of things that are very similar to Stranger Things. It’s about a kid who’s trying to save his dying mother and he travels into another dimension in order to do so. I mean, it’s much more fantasy. It has sci-fi. It has horror elements. It has a lot of heart. It has everything that we love. And it’s got the best werewolf character I think, ever.

They had a pretty big easter egg for The Talisman in that last episode.
Since this has most likely been in the works between the Duffers and Netflix for months/years, that was a cheeky little Talisman Easter egg during the finale
The context is pretty spoilerific but it's here.
