Netflix Renews Animated Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 for Fall Season 2

The fall return underscores Netflix’s push to keep the Stranger Things universe alive through rapid, canon-building spinoffs.

Overview

  • Netflix, which announced the renewal Tuesday, said new episodes of Tales From ’85 will arrive this fall.
  • Showrunner Eric Robles said the Hawkins Investigators Club will face a new threat tied to abandoned silver mines and continue a mystery seeded in Season 1.
  • Tales From ’85 debuted April 23 and reached No. 7 on Netflix’s weekly English TV chart with about 13.8 million hours viewed, or roughly 2.8 million views.
  • The animated series uses a new voice cast for Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max, with none of the live-action stars reprising their roles.
  • The story is set between Seasons 2 and 3 of the original show, and the swift turnaround aligns with Netflix’s strategy of planning animation on tight, multi-season cadences.
