It’s time to return to the world of Hawkins with Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. But ahead of its release on Netflix, the makers have announced that the beloved series will also be released in theatres.
In 2016, Stranger Things was released on Netflix, and it quickly grabbed everyone’s attention. Nine years later, in 2025, the world said goodbye to Hawkins with the end of the series. However, that doesn’t mean we will never return to Hawkins. Months after the original series ended, the time has come to go back to the town with the same gang, the only difference being that this time, it will be animated.

What is Stranger Things: Tales From '85 about?
Set in the Stranger Things universe, the animated show revolves around Eleven and her friends, Mike, Will, Dustin, and Max, during the winter of 1985, when the horrors haunting the town seem to be fading, and the group is back to enjoying Dungeons & Dragons and living normal lives. But something terrifying is happening beneath the town of Hawkings, and it's on our crew to solve the mystery.
The voice cast of the show includes Brooklyn Davey Norstedt, Luca Diaz, Benjamin Plessala, Braxton Quinney, Elisha “EJ” Williams, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Brett Gipson, Odessa A’zion, Lou Diamond Phillips, Jeremy Jordan and Janeane Garofalo.
“In the winter of 1985, snow blankets the town and the horrors of the Upside Down are finally fading. Our heroes Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max have settled back into a normal life of D&D, snowball fights, and quiet days,” reads the official logline, according to Variety, “But beneath the ice, something terrifying has awakened. Could it be from the Upside Down? From the depths of Hawkins Lab? Or from somewhere else entirely? Our heroes must race to solve this mystery and save Hawkins in this new story set in the ‘Stranger Things’ universe.”
