Stranger Things is undeniably the biggest IP under Netflix\u2019s belt, and although the original show ended at the end of 2025, Netflix and The Duffer Brothers aren\u2019t putting the brand to bed just yet. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Despite Stranger Things: Tales From \u201885 receiving middling reviews from critics (IGN gave it a 6), it still managed to land in the top 15 debuts for an animated Netflix show. As a result, Netflix is full speed ahead on another season. Season 2 will be released sometime this fall and feature another adventure with the Stranger Things gang.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Stranger Things: Tales From \u201885 Images<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Eric Robles talked a bit about the long-term plans for the show, which seemingly extend beyond a second season. Robles noted that he realizes there are some gaps in the continuity \u2014 particularly with the character of Nikki Baxter, who is brand new to the Stranger Things universe and goes unmentioned in the original series \u2014 and he aims to resolve that.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cThis is going to be a really fun ride for the story that I want to tell,\u201d said Robles. \u201cBut I don\u2019t plan to overstay my welcome. I\u2019m giving you a very vague answer, but I have an idea of what feels right for me, creatively, in terms of the story introducing Nikki Baxter \u2014 her not being around anymore and what that means. Technically, she doesn\u2019t fit into the timeline. It\u2019s not in the cards, in the sense that this was developed when the Duffers were in season four post[-production]. What I can say is that I understand the responsibility of ending this story for this series correctly \u2014 what the kids process, how they move forward after that, how it connects perfectly to season three and why they don\u2019t talk about her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Earlier this month, Netflix released the first season of the animated spin-off that fills in the gap between Stranger Things Season 2 and Season 3. The show is a more family-friendly take on the series with brighter colors and a less menacing tone. The series centers on the core cast of characters from the original show, but very few of its original stars returned to reprise their roles. Unlike its predecessor, which spread its episodes out in bursts across two months, the animated series rolled out all 10 episodes at the same time. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Tales From \u201885 isn\u2019t the only Stranger Things spin-off, either. The Duffer Brothers have loosely discussed another live-action Stranger Things series that is totally separate from the characters in the original show and doesn\u2019t take place in Hawkins. It\u2019s unclear exactly when that project may materialize or what it may look like, but it\u2019s yet another example of Netflix trying to keep the Stranger Things train moving. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Cade Onder is a freelancer for IGN&#8217;s news team.
