About Tales From ‘85
In an interview with SFX Magazine, the Duffer brothers shared details about the animated show, which is set between Seasons 2 and 3 of Stranger Things. Ross Duffer explained the premise:
“The cartoon goes back and fills in a six-month gap that we weren’t able to explore. It’s fun because you get to see them as little kids again, but it’s not really again.”
This series will explore unseen moments in Hawkins, offering fans new insights into characters and events from the show's timeline.
