Netflix has announced a live-action prequel to Stranger Things set in the 1950s.
Called Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure, the new show also comes from the Duffer Brothers and prolific Stranger Things writer Kate Trefry.
“We’ve been dreaming of Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure for many years now, and to see it become a reality is surreal and exhilarating,” explained Matt and Ross Duffer.
“It’s Stranger Things, but also thrillingly fresh, with a new setting, new heroes and villains, and new … actually, we’re not allowed to say any more. Now, on to casting. In the meantime — watch the skies, nerds!”
Trefry said: “The Duffer Brothers gave me my first paying job in Hollywood, and it has been a joy and a fever dream ever since. Now, it is my insane honour and privilege to be bringing this new chapter of Stranger Things to life alongside them and our incredible director, Joe Wright.
“With the support of Netflix and 21 Laps, we have had the time of our lives returning to all the horror, wonder and mystery of the flagship, while also telling a wholly new story, one we hope will blow your minds and break your hearts all over again. There are so many more mysteries to explore. Welcome to Other Worlds.”
The new show will be filmed in New Mexico and debut on Netflix in 2028.
