Netflix has released a new trailer, key art, and photos from upcoming animated series Stranger Things: Tales from ’85.
The television show consists of ten, 30-minute episodes, and will hit Netflix in April. While it is set in the same universe as Stranger Things, the show is actually set between seasons 2 and 3 of the parent show, but doesn’t include any of the same actors voicing the characters.
In other words, don’t expect to hear Millie Bobby Brown voicing Eleven or Joe Keery voicing Steve.

Here’s the synopsis: “Return to Hawkins with Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, an exciting new animated series from showrunner Eric Robles and executive producers the Duffer Brothers. In the winter of 1985, snow blankets the town and the horrors of the Upside Down are finally fading.”
“Our heroes Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max have settled back into a normal life of D&D, snowball fights, and quiet days. But beneath the ice, something terrifying has awakened. Could it be from the Upside Down? From the depths of Hawkins Lab? Or from somewhere else entirely? Our heroes must race to solve this mystery and save Hawkins in this new story set in the Stranger Things universe.”
