>There’s an animated Stranger Things series in the works, and it’s further along than most people realize. This isn’t a continuation with the original cast, but a new story within the same universe—new characters, different location, same Upside Down framework.
>The big detail: Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls) is attached as showrunner. His involvement has reportedly helped solidify the tone slightly more surreal, quirky, and myth-heavy, but still grounded in the Stranger Things world. Internally, it’s being described as “elevated YA adventure horror” with a retro-animated vibe. • Duffer Brothers are executive producers, but taking more of a backseat creatively. • Think The Last Kids on Earth meets Paranorman, but with that 80s-style ST flavor. • Target release is late 2026 or early 2027, pending production timelines.
