Monsters unleashed in Hawkins Stranger Things S2 trailer
Get ready to step back into the neon-drenched streets of Hawkins, Indiana, because Netflix has dropped a brand-new trailer for Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 season 2. This animated spin-off is poised to bring the beloved kids of the Upside Down back to their small town during a pivotal winter, promising more ghostly apparitions and creature chaos than ever before.
Set between the events of Stranger Things seasons 2 and 3, Tales From ’85 continues the adventures of Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max as they navigate the winter of 1985. While the main live-action series has concluded its run, the expansive Stranger Things universe continues to evolve, and this animated series is the perfect vehicle for diving deeper into the lore.
The new season is centered on a tantalizing premise: With Valentine’s Day on the way, the gang must uncover the truth behind ghostly apparitions and a swarm of strange creatures causing chaos around town. This promises a blend of nostalgic fun and genuine supernatural peril.
The tension is amplified by a specific, seemingly innocuous detail. Showrunner Eric Robles revealed that the mystery deepens when the kids begin to notice that strange flowers are popping up all over Hawkins. These flowers, while appearing harmless, hold a supernatural secret. The trouble escalates when Nikki and Max attempt to sell these strange blooms around town, inadvertently risking the spread of the supernatural threat throughout the community.
The animated adventure features an all-new, exciting voice cast to bring the familiar characters to life. The season 2 roster includes Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Elisha “EJ” Williams as Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Ben Plessala as Will, and Brett Gipson as Hopper. Supporting roles are filled by Odessa A’zion as Nikki Baxer, Janeane Garofalo as Anna Baxter, Lou Diamond Phillips as Daniel Fischer, Alessandra Antonelli as Nancy Wheeler, Valeria Rodriguez as Rosario, and Jack Griffo as Jeff.
Behind the scenes, the production quality remains high, spearheaded by Flying Bark Productions. The series is executive produced by the Duffer brothers, Matt and Ross Duffer, alongside Hilary Leavitt, and executive produced by Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. This team ensures that the story maintains the high stakes and imaginative scope fans expect.
Initially, the first season of Tales From ’85 was envisioned as a fun, non-essential expansion of the franchise. But the second season looks ready to deliver on that promise, offering another monster-filled Hawkins adventure that expands on the mythology without detracting from the core story. Fans are certainly eager to see where this expanded universe takes them next.
