Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 animated series trailer takes us back to Hawkins for another monster-filled adventure
Stranger Things season 5, which was also the last season of the show, came to an end on New Year’s Eve – but that was not, of course, the end for the Stranger Things franchise. There’s already a stage play prequel (which has been filmed for future release on Netflix) and there are spin-offs in the works, including an animated series called Stranger Things: Tales from ’85, which is scheduled to premiere on April 23rd. With that date exactly four weeks away, a trailer has dropped online to get us hyped for a return to Hawkins, Indiana. You can watch it in the embed above.
Logline and Cast
Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 has the following logline: Welcome back to Hawkins in the stark winter of 1985, where the original characters must fight new monsters and unravel a paranormal mystery terrorizing their town in Stranger Things: Tales from ’85, an epic new animated series. The last episode of Stranger Things season 2 took place on December 15, 1984, so this animated series will take place between the second and third seasons, which would allow all of the major characters to participate. The Hollywood Reporter adds that they’re joined by a new character: “Nikki, a tough, mohawk-wearing gal.”
The voice cast includes Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Elisha “EJ” Williams as Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Benjamin Plessala as Will, and Brett Gipson as Hopper. Odessa A’zion provides the voice of Nikki. Janeane Garofalo and Lou Diamond Phillips also voice unspecified characters.
The animation studio is Flying Bark. The Duffer Brothers are executive producing the animated series through their Upside Down Pictures production banner, along with Upside Down’s Hilary Leavitt, and Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen of 21 Laps. Eric Robles executive produces via Flying Bark Productions.
If you don’t want to wait until April 23rd to see all of the episodes, some AMC theatres will have theatrical screenings of the first two episodes on April 18th. The list of participating theatres can be seen on the AMC Theatres site.
