New Animated Series Brings 1980s Musical Nostalgia to Netflix

Netflix is set to premiere a fresh installment in the Stranger Things universe on April 23, offering fans an opportunity to revisit the beloved town of Hawkins, Indiana through an animated lens.

Stranger Things: Tales From '85 will serve as an animated spinoff that bridges the gap between the second and third seasons of the original series. The project reimagines the iconic characters from the Duffer brothers' flagship show with a distinctive new visual style, while introducing a completely new voice acting ensemble to bring these familiar figures to life.

The soundtrack accompanying the series draws heavily from the rich musical catalog of the 1980s, featuring contributions from legendary acts including The Cure and Black Sabbath, among other prominent artists from the era. This curated selection of tracks underscores the show's commitment to authenticity and nostalgia, transporting viewers back to the aesthetic and cultural zeitgeist of mid-1980s America.
