- Netflix released a teaser on Stranger Things Day, Nov. 6, 2026, that sets Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure in Marion, Nevada on April 19, 1955.
- Creators Matt and Ross Duffer co-created the series with Kate Trefry as showrunner and Joe Wright directing the first three episodes.
- Producers include Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps and Upside Down Pictures, and production is scheduled to shoot in New Mexico for the 2028 season.
- The studio says the show will use a new cast of heroes and villains and will explore origins tied to Henry Creel without centering on the original Hawkins protagonists.
