Stranger Things: Tales from '85

This animated turn for the franchise leans into the frantic energy of 1985. By moving away from live action, the series captures the supernatural dread of a parallel world with a distinct aesthetic that fits the era. It focuses on a small group of friends dealing with government conspiracies and emerging super powers as part of their everyday teen drama.

Brooklyn Davey Norstedt is among the voices bringing this winter in Hawkins to life. The stakes remain rooted in the mystery of the town, shifting the focus to how children navigate threats that adults refuse to acknowledge. It translates the core tension of the original series into a format that allows the visual scope of the sci-fi elements to feel more unrestrained.
