Netflix didn’t say goodbye to Stranger Things with the show’s series finale. It already had its first (of two) spinoffs in development when Hawkins’ heroes bid farewell. The animated Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85 let them have more spooky adventures in their haunted town. And the creepy fun isn’t ending anytime soon. Netflix has announced it has already renewed Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 for a second season.
If you love watching smart capable kids battle monsters in their otherwise sleepy town, Netflix really loves you. The streaming service is continuing the story in Hawkins with another season of Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85. Netflix has even provided a synopsis for the second season, though it’s obviously a partial spoiler for those who have yet to watch. We warned you like we’re an overconfident Vecna!
After uncovering a fearsome mystery at the end of Season 1, Eleven (voiced by Brooklyn Davey Norstedt), Mike (Luca Diaz), Will (Benjamin Plessala), Dustin (Braxton Quinney), Lucas (Elisha “EJ” Williams), Max (Jolie Hoang-Rappaport), and Nikki (Odessa A’zion) will take on another perilous threat when new episodes head to Netflix this fall.
“Working on Season 1 has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Now that it’s out in the world, seeing fans connect with these characters—whether they’ve loved them for years or are just meeting them for the first time—has been truly special,” said showrunner, Eric Robles in a statement. “I’m excited to continue the journey. We’re thrilled to return to the winter of ’85 for season two. The Hawkins Investigators Club is back, and a new paranormal threat has emerged from the town’s abandoned silver mines. I can’t wait for fans to discover where this entity and the mysterious blue flower we last saw blooming in the Upside Down at the end of Season 1 take our young heroes.”
Robles also serves as an executive producer alongside the Duffer Brothers, Hilary Leavitt, Shawn Levy, and Dan Cohen. The show also stars Brett Gipson as Hopper, Jeremy Jordan as Steve, Janeane Garofalo as Anna, and Lou Diamond Phillips as Daniel.
How many more seasons might the show run after season two? We’re not sure about that. But we have a feeling, one way or another, we have many more years left to hang out in Hawkins.
