The Duffer brothers said in a statement:
“We’ve always dreamed of an animated ‘Stranger Things’ in the vein of the Saturday morning cartoons that we grew up loving, and to see this dream realized has been absolutely thrilling. We couldn’t be more blown away by what Eric Robles and his team have come up with — the scripts and artwork are incredible, and we can’t wait to share more with you! The adventure continues…”
Netflix announced plans for a live-action spinoff series and a stage show in July 2022, with the Duffers forming Upside Down Pictures at that time. No details are available about the live-action spinoff, though the Duffers have previously said it would not focus on characters like Eleven or Steve Harrington. It was revealed in March 2023 that the stage show would take place in Hawkins in 1959 and would debut in London’s West End.
The Duffers are also working on a live-action TV version of the Japanese manga and anime series Death Note. They are also at work on a series adaptation of Stephen King and Peter Straub’s book The Talisman alongside Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and Paramount Television.
The fifth and final season of the flagship Stranger Things series is set to hit Netflix in 2024. Are you looking forward to the animated series?
