Netflix’s series Stranger Things, which has attracted great attention all over the world, is coming to an end with the fifth season, which will be released at the end of this year. However, the series universe is not closing. The first concrete information about the animated spin-off project Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, which was announced in 2023, was shared at the Annecy Film Festival.

Stranger Things will meet us with an animated series

The new production will focus on 1985, which is between the second and third seasons of the main series. The story is again set in the town of Hawkins. The events that take place during a harsh winter season are about. The characters that the audience is familiar with in the original series are returning this time in an animated format. A new character named Nikki is also joining this cast.

The new animated series features an important innovation in its narrative style while remaining faithful to the Stranger Things universe. Netflix announced that the animation style of the production will be close to productions such as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Arcane.

With this choice, a different language is established in terms of visual narration. This means that the series is not aimed at being followed by young viewers as well as adult viewers, but offers a narrative that directly appeals to these segments.

The Duffer Brothers are again in the creative chair. The duo, who are also the creators of the main series, are executive producers on the new project. In addition, one of the executive producers of the series is Shawn Levy. Levy also served as a producer on previous seasons of Stranger Things.

No exact release date has been announced for Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. However, Netflix confirmed that the series will meet its audience in 2026. So what do you think about this project? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section below.
