The new series Stranger Things takes us back to 1985: trailer
Set between seasons 2 and 3, this cartoon will bring us back to Hawkins, just a few weeks after the conclusion of the original series.
The gate did not close completely.
Netflix announced this Monday the upcoming release of Stranger Things: The Chronicles of 1985, a new animated series which will revisit Hawkins, Indiana.
The streamer reveals the date: it will be Thursday, April 23. And along the way, we discover a long, promising trailer.
Snow covers the small town, the horrors of the Upside Down seem far away… but it won’t last. Set between seasons 2 and 3, the series dives into this suspended moment where the gang tries to become children again: games of Dungeons & Dragons, snowball fights, quiet days. But “underneath the ice, something terrifying has awakened,” announces the synopsis. Hawkins has never really been calm. “Our heroes must race to solve this mystery and save Hawkins.”
We understand from the video that a creature from the upside down world survived in our world after Eleven closed the portal in the basement of the lab, at the end of season 2. And it will obviously grow to become monstrous… A new Demogorgon?
For this animated version, no member of the original cast lends their voices.
We find Brooklyn Davey Norstedt (Eleven), Jolie Hoang-Rappaport (Max), Luca Diaz (Mike), Elisha “EJ” Williams (Lucas), Braxton Quinney (Dustin), Benjamin Plessala (Will), Brett Gipson (Hopper), Jeremy Jordan (Steve), and guests like Janeane Garofalo, Lou Diamond Phillips and Odessa A’zion.
If creators Matt and Ross Duffer remain executive producers to guarantee the DNA of the series, Eric Robles, newcomer to the franchise, assumes the role of showrunner and director. He takes charge of the narration, tone and animation, breathing new life while respecting the Hawkins spirit.
Stranger Things: The Chronicles of 1985 will arrive less than four months after the end of season 5, which saw the gang defeat Vecna and destroy the Upside Down…
