The world is gearing up for the long-awaited (to put it lightly) arrival of
Stranger ThingsΓÇÖ fifth and final season, but Netflix isnΓÇÖt ready to
sunset one of its defining franchises just yet. Several years after it was
first teased, a new animated spin-off series is officially coming in 2026.

Announced to coincide with Stranger Things Day today (November 6, 1983, is
the day Will Byers originally got kidnapped, in case youΓÇÖre scratching your
head), Stranger Things: Tales from ΓÇÿ85 takes place between seasons 2 and 3
of the live-action show, during the winter of 1985. It stars what looks like
the majority of the original characters ΓÇö albeit not voiced by the actors
who play them in the main show ΓÇö as they face off against new monsters and
a (yet another) "paranormal mystery terrorizing their town." Hope you
didnΓÇÖt think that Hawkins was about to catch a break.

Stranger Things: Tales from ΓÇÿ85 stars Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven,
Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Elisha "EJ" Williams as
Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Ben Plessala as Will and Brett Gipson as
Hopper. ItΓÇÖs coming to Netflix next year, exact release date currently
unspecified.

As for Stranger Things proper, thatΓÇÖs coming in just a few weeks time, with
the first batch of episodes landing on November 26. More arrive on Christmas
Day, with the finale hitting Netflix on December 31. We got a juicy trailer
last week, in which poor old Will appears to be in the wars again.
