Netflix is likely going to keep making episodes of Stranger Things as long as fans keep watching, but star Gaten Matarazzo has gone and booked himself another gig with the streamer. He will executive produce and host a new prank show for Netflix called Prank Encounters.

As Deadline explains, the company has ordered eight episodes of the show, which will involve hidden cameras and, undoubtedly, plenty of hilarious hijinks.

Each episode of the show will follow two complete strangers who think they're starting a new job. Instead, the jobs turn into nightmares.

It's unclear when Prank Encounters will arrive, but Season 3 of Stranger Things is set to land on July 4.
