Hawkins, Indiana, is prepping for its final showdown with the Upside Down in Stranger Things 5, but the show’s final season won’t mark the end for the Duffer Brothers’ world of monsters and ’80s nostalgia. Viewers will get to return there with Netflix’s first spinoff, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. Now we know who will be getting in on the horror fun. The streamer kicked off its 2025 Stranger Things Day celebration by sharing a new featurette and first-look images for the show, along with the announcement of its voice cast.

The Making of Stranger Things: Tales From ’85; New Teaser Featurette
Stranger Things Day takes place on November 6 because that’s when Vecna took Will Byers in 1983. In 2025, we’re getting something a lot less scary. Instead of an interdimensional kidnapping, the Upside Down is giving us a special teaser video, photos, and a cast announcement for Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. In this new behind-the-scenes look, the Duffers talk about why they wanted to make this animated show. It was one of their very first ideas when Netflix asked about potential spinoffs. They say Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 will also stay true to the original show’s ethos by trying to capture the look of an ’80s cartoon.
Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 First-Look Images
The two new images Netflix released for the show capture that retro-vibe while still feeling modern. But considering the young heroes and monsters they feature, this animated show still shares the same DNA of Stranger Things. In the two new images from Stranger Things ’85, we get a good look at the animated Party, including Mike, Max, Dustin, Will, Lucas, and Eleven, and the Upside Down.
Our chief question, though, is whether Eddie Munson can return in Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, even if only for a cameo? And you know, Eddie died in ’86, so YES, is the answer to that.

The voice cast of Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 includes: Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Ej (Elisha) Williams as Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Ben Plessala as Will, and Brett Gipson as Hopper.
