Netflix is marking Stranger Things day by greenlighting a live-action prequel series. The company confirmed that Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure is set in the 1950s, predating both the original series and the stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow. The show is slated for a 2028 release.
Teaser Details
An announcement teaser reveals the setting as Marion, Nevada, in 1955. The footage features an abandoned bicycle with an attached radio, a restricted area sign, and an ominous sky.
Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer described the project as a surreal and exhilarating expansion of the franchise, promising a fresh setting with new characters while maintaining the core Stranger Things identity.
Production Team
While the Duffer Brothers serve as executive producers, Kate Trefry, a writer for the original series and The First Shadow, will act as co-creator, showrunner, and writer. Joe Wright is set to direct the first three episodes.
The franchise continues to expand with the conclusion of The First Shadow stage play and the recent release of the second season of the animated spinoff, Stranger Things: Tales from '85.
