Netflix has announced an animated "Stranger Things" series, "Stranger Things: Tales from '85," set to be released in 2026.
The creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, stated that an animated version was one of their initial ideas for expanding the franchise, aiming to evoke the style of 1980s cartoons.
The animated series will explore the storyline between the second and third seasons of the original show, taking viewers back to the winter of 1985 in Hawkins, Indiana.
Showrunner Eric Robles mentioned that the series will fill gaps in the storytelling between seasons 2 and 3, revealing that things are not as they initially seem.
The visual style of "Tales from '85" will draw inspiration from cartoons popular in the 1980s, allowing for limitless creative possibilities.
The final season of "Stranger Things," Season 5, is slated to premiere on Netflix in three parts: November 26, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve.
