Overview
- The 3D animated series is set in Hawkins during the winter of 1985 between seasons 2 and 3.
- Eric Robles says the story intentionally scales back the stakes so the kids are focused on saving their town rather than the world.
- Netflix unveiled a new voice lineup: Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven, Luca Diaz as Mike, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Elisha “EJ” Williams as Lucas, Benjamin Plessala as Will, and Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max.
- None of the live-action actors return; Brett Gipson voices Hopper, Jeremy Jordan plays Steve, Odessa A’zion joins as Nikki Baxter, with Janeane Garofalo and Lou Diamond Phillips also in the cast.
- Produced by Flying Bark Productions with the Duffers’ Upside Down Pictures, the series has released a trailer and is framed as a return to the show’s early small-town tone following a divisive Season 5 finale.
