Stranger Things will be concluding after five seasons on Netflix, but the universe is expanding. An untitled animated series has been greenlit at Netflix, with Flying Bark Productions and executive producer Eric Robles developing.
The Duffer Brothers fan-favorite series premiered in 2016 starring Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Noah Schnapp, among others. It follows the residents of the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, plagued with paranormal events and an alternate dimension known as the Upside Down.

It’s unknown what the animated series will be about.
“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,” Matt and Ross Duffer said Monday in a statement. “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.”
Executive producers include the Duffer Brothers on behalf of Upside Down Pictures, Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen on behalf of 21 Laps, and Robles on behalf of Flying Bark.
As Deadline scooped last July, the Duffers launched Upside Down Pictures and have several Stranger Things-related projects in development, including a stage play and a live-action spinoff. Those are in addition to plans for series adaptations of Death Note and Stephen King’s The Talisman.
