Overview
- Netflix released the first trailer and confirmed a global premiere on April 23, 2026.
- The story follows the original kids as a new Upside Down–linked threat stirs beneath a snowbound Hawkins in 1985.
- Robles characterizes the stakes as smaller-scale, saying the kids are focused on saving their town rather than the world.
- A new voice cast leads the series, including Brooklyn Davey Norstedt (Eleven), Jolie Hoang-Rappaport (Max), Luca Díaz (Mike), Elisha “EJ” Williams (Lucas), Braxton Quinney (Dustin), Benjamin Plessala (Will), Brett Gipson (Hopper) and Jeremy Jordan as Steve.
- The Duffer brothers executive produce alongside Upside Down Pictures and 21 Laps, with animation by Flying Bark Productions; episode count and release cadence are not yet announced, and a reported weekly Friday rollout remains unconfirmed.
