While Stranger Things may have reached its conclusion, the world of Hawkins lives on. Fan-favorite characters return for an all-new mystery in Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, an animated series from showrunner Eric Robles (Glitch Techs, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy), with Stranger Things co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer serving as executive producers.
Premiering April 23, 2026 on Netflix, the animated series is set in the Stranger Things universe between Seasons 2 and 3. Per Tudum, “Tales From ’85 picks up with Eleven (voiced by Brooklyn Davey Norstedt), Mike (Luca Diaz), Will (Benjamin Plessala), Dustin (Braxton Quinney), Lucas (Elisha “EJ” Williams), and Max (In Your Dreams‘ Jolie Hoang-Rappaport) in the winter of 1985. The horrors of the Upside Down are finally fading, and the kids have settled back into a normal life of Dungeons & Dragons and snowball fights.”
Additional voice cast include Brett Gipson (Knights of Badassdom) as Hopper, and Jeremy Jordan (Hazbin Hotel) as Steve. Additional voice cast includes Odessa A’zion (I Love LA, Marty Supreme), Janeane Garofalo (Wet Hot American Summer, Ratatouille), and Lou Diamond Phillips (The Chair Company, La Bamba).
Robles told Tudum, “We want the audience to feel that these kids are in danger, the stakes are real, and bad things can happen to anyone. And things do happen that are very scary in a sense, so that really makes the danger for the kids that much more tangible. We were able to freeze time and really go on these never before told adventures with them in this timeline“
