By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on November 6, 2025 Courtesy of Netflix Comment 0 Share New Share Courtesy of Netflix In case you were worried, the final installment of Stranger Things headed to us at the end of this year is far from the last we’ll see of the Stranger Things franchise. Starting in 2026, there will be an animated series set in Hawkins called Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. It’s a winter tale that takes place between seasons two and three of the original show. We got our first look at the series today in a behind-the-scenes teaser, where showrunner Eric Robles and Stranger Things co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer give it praise. “With animation there’s really no limits,” Ross Duffer says in the clip. “Eric and his team can just go wild… and they have.” Robles also said in the video that the series will show “the magic of Hawkins in a new way.” We see some of that animation style in the clip as well, along with the news that the idea was to “evoke a feeling of an ‘80s cartoon.” Given what we see, however, that’s not really the vibe I get, though the animation does look pretty good. Tales From ’85 is voiced by different actors than the live-action series, with 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. Odessa A’zion, Janeane Garofalo, and Lou Diamond Phillips also lend their voices to the show. The show is set to come out sometime in 2026. Check out the first look clip below.
