Netflix is set to release "Stranger Things: Tales From '85," an animated series set to premiere on April 23. This new installment ventures into an animated version of Hawkins, Indiana, bridging the gap between the second and third seasons of the original live-action show. The story unfolds in the winter of 1985, where a fragile peace has settled over the town as old threats seem to fade.
However, a new and terrifying mystery awakens beneath the surface, prompting characters like Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max to investigate. The synopsis hints at a danger that could originate from the Upside Down, Hawkins Lab, or elsewhere entirely. Notably, the voice cast features new actors, with Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven and Jeremy Jordan as Steve, among others, rather than the original live-action performers.
Matt and Ross Duffer, co-creators of "Stranger Things," are executive producing the animated spinoff. This release follows the conclusion of the five-season "Stranger Things" run in December 2025, which saw the defeat of Vecna and the Mind Flayer.
