"The animated series is set in the winter between the second and third seasons of Stranger Things, "where the original characters must fight new monsters and unravel a paranormal mystery terrorizing their town," per Netflix's logline. In addition to having a different visual style, new actors will be lending their voices to the animated spinoff, including star Odessa A'zion. It arrives in 2026, so you won't have to wait too long for a return to the world of Stranger Things."
"While the new show's timeline seems to afford a sense of security to the core characters, don't let your guard down when it comes to thrills. "It's got its bite to it," showrunner Eric Robles recently told Entertainment Weekly. "The stakes are real for the kids. It's not Scooby-Doo, man. It's not like, 'Oh, well, it'll be fine.' We don't know if it'll be fine.""
"The Duffer Brothers (who created Stranger Things) have also teased the development of another spinoff that's completely removed from the core show. As Matt Duffer told , the fifth and final season of Stranger Things allowed the team to cover "every last remaining thing we wanted to do with the Demogorgons and Mind Flayer and Vecna and the Upside Down and Hawkins and these characters." The Dec. 31 finale marks the end of a "complete story. It's done.""
The Dec. 31 Stranger Things finale concludes nearly a decade of theories, mysterious monsters, and viral needle drops. Multiple spinoffs are in development to extend the franchise beyond the flagship series. Stranger Things: Tales from '85 is an animated series set in the winter between Seasons 2 and 3 that returns original characters to Hawkins to fight new monsters and unravel a paranormal mystery. The animated spinoff uses a different visual style, features new voice actors including Odessa A'zion, and is scheduled for 2026. Showrunner Eric Robles emphasizes real stakes and a darker tone. The Duffer Brothers have also teased a separate clean-slate spinoff, and Matt Duffer says Season 5 completed the main story involving Demogorgons, the Mind Flayer, Vecna, the Upside Down, Hawkins, and the core characters.
