Netflix has released the first glimpse of Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, an upcoming spinoff set during the winter of 1985, positioned between the second and third seasons of the original series.
The new animated series will revisit Hawkins, following familiar characters like Mike, Eleven, Will, and Hopper as they confront fresh threats from the Upside Down.
Despite the imminent arrival of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, Tales From ’85 promises to expand the universe by exploring untold mysteries through a sci-fi lens.
The spinoff’s trailer reveals the appearance of a brand new creature, indicating a diversification of the monsters in the series. So far, the main franchise has featured Demodogs, Demogorgons, Demobats, and the Mind Flayer in various forms.
“As the franchise aims to unveil more of the mysteries of the Upside Down, adding some more strange creatures can make for some terrifying and intriguing world-building.”
This addition will bring fresh and terrifying elements to the series, enhancing both the horror and the lore of the Upside Down.
Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 is expected to debut in 2026, offering fans more adventures in Hawkins while they await the conclusion of the main series.
