Netflix and Stranger Things Day bring us our first look at the animated Tales from ’85!

As we inch ever closer to the 5th and final season of Stranger Things after nearly 10 years on Netflix, Matt and Ross Duffer bring something new to the Stranger Things saga.

This new animated series seeks to fill in some holes and add to the adventures the Hawkins kids experienced between seasons 2 and 3 of the fan favorite series. While it’s been teased to us for years, as early as 2022, Stranger Things Day (Nov 6th) gives us our first peek at what we can expect from the franchise beyond the core series.

Watch below for a look behind the scenes of what we can expect from a 21st century “80s cartoon” featuring our favorite monster hunting teens.

Well after we say good-bye to Stranger Things on December 31st, expect to head back to the synthwave driven decade with Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 sometime in 2026 (I’m guessing October).

The final season of Stranger Things arrives later this month on the following dates, wrapping up on New Years Eve!

Vol. 1 – November 26, 2025 (4 episodes)
Vol. 2 – December 25, 2025 (3 episodes)
Vol. 3 – December 31, 2025 (1 TWO HOUR FINALE episode)
