Watch the skies! The world of Stranger Things is returning to your TV screens with a brand-new spin-off series, Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure!
Serving as a prequel set in 1955 in Marion, Nevada, Other Worlds takes place prior to both the original Stranger Things series and the acclaimed Broadway production, The First Shadow. The story will focus on a new cast of characters and expand the franchise's mythology. The Duffer Brothers, creators of Stranger Things, co-created Other Worlds alongside Kate Trefy, who will serve as showrunner. Trefy wrote episodes for the original series from season two through its conclusion and penned The First Shadow. Shawn Levy returns as executive producer via 21Laps Entertainment. Paul Dichter, Shelley Meals, Andrea Sperling, and Pavlina Hatoupis also serve as executive producers. Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Joe Wright has been tapped to direct episodes. Wright is best known for directing the Keira Knightley-led adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Hanna, Anna Karenina, and Darkest Hour. The Duffers and Levy are not expected to return as directors due to commitments to a currently untitled event film at Paramount and Marvel Studios' Ghost Rider, respectively.

A live-action Stranger Things spin-off series was first announced in 2022. While little has been said since then, a few details about the series came up during the promotional cycle for Stranger Things' fifth and final season. A key detail was the confirmation that the spin-off would also feature a large ensemble cast. During an interview on The Tonight Show last year, Finn Wolfhard revealed he had correctly guessed the spin-off concept: an anthology series inspired by Twin Peaks. In a statement to the press, Netflix's Head of Scripted Series Jinny Howe said, "Stranger Things has always belonged to the fans, and their passion made it a worldwide phenomenon. Today, on Stranger Things Day, we’re honored to partner again with Matt and Ross Duffer and Kate Trefry to give fans a new dimension of this universe to step into. Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure takes us to the 1950s with new heroes and all the heart, mystery, and spectacle of the original series. We’re proud to keep building this world with the Duffers, Kate, Shawn Levy, and Joe Wright, and we can’t wait for fans to see what’s next.” The Duffers confirmed to the press that casting for the series is currently underway.
Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure will air in 2028.
