Delving into Stranger Things: Relatos del 85
Netflix recently unveiled the first trailer for Stranger Things: Relatos del 85, marking the launch of its first spin-off series from the platform’s highly successful franchise. Announced two years ago, the project has revealed some intriguing details regarding its plot and characters, set to debut in the summer of 2025. As a tantalizing appetizer before the much-anticipated fifth season of the original series, this trailer offers a glimpse into what lies ahead.
According to the trailer, Stranger Things: Relatos del 85 will take place in the winter of 1985, strategically nestled between the second and third seasons of the original show. “Soon we’ll discover that nothing is what it seems,” suggests the creative force behind the series. Clearly, this spin-off aims to maintain the enigmatic atmosphere that fans have come to cherish.
For fans, the new series focuses on the original characters, promising a fresh adventure featuring familiar faces. Notably, Eleven, Mike Wheeler, Will Byers, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, Max Mayfield, and Jim Hopper will all return. Additionally, a new character, Nikki Barber, will be introduced, characterized as a mischievous girl with short pink hair, adding a new dynamic to the group.
“When we asked ourselves if we wanted to expand the universe of Stranger Things, this was one of our earliest ideas,” the creators shared. Their goal is to encapsulate the essence of 80s cartoons, expressing that “with animation, there are no limits.” This artistic direction certainly opens doors to creative storytelling possibilities.
What we know about Stranger Things: Relatos del 85
One piece of disappointing news for fans is that the original cast will not be voicing their animated counterparts in Stranger Things: Relatos del 85. Instead, a new voice cast will bring these beloved characters to life, with Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Elisha Williams as Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Ben Plessala as Will, and Brett Gipson in the role of Hopper.
The exact plot details remain somewhat elusive. What is known is that the children will face new monsters and dangers connected to the Upside Down. This spin-off seems like a unique opportunity to expand the lore of a universe that has already touched audiences beyond the screen, having been explored in theatrical adaptations in major venues.
Stranger Things: Relatos del 85 is slated to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2026. The anticipation surrounding this show is palpable, and fans are left to ponder the twists and turns that await in this nostalgic yet novel installment.
