Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 is the spin-off of Stranger Things, which takes place between Seasons 2 and 3 of the original, and is canon to it as well. The only difference is that it features a new addition to the Hawkins crew: Nikki Baxter, whom we haven’t seen in the original shows.
The show had limitations with the story since it could not connect too much with the main show’s timeline, given that Stranger Things ended in 2025. Not only has Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 managed to tell a fantastic story, but it has also been renewed for Season 2.
Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 Season 2 has been confirmed
Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 Season 2 has been confirmed by Netflix. Story details are yet to be revealed, and all we know is that a new threat will emerge from Hawkin’s silver mines, which were abandoned long ago. Speaking about Season 2, the developer and executive producer of the show, Eric Robles, said to Tudum by Netflix,
“Working on Season 1 has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Now that it’s out in the world, seeing fans connect with these characters—whether they’ve loved them for years or are just meeting them for the first time—has been truly special. I’m excited to continue the journey.”
He continued,
“We’re thrilled to return to the winter of ’85 for Season 2. The Hawkins Investigators Club is back, and a new paranormal threat has emerged from the town’s abandoned silver mines. I can’t wait for fans to discover where this entity and the mysterious blue flower we last saw blooming in the Upside Down at the end of Season 1 take our young heroes.”
It is too early to say if there are going to be new cast additions. But as Robles said, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 Season 2 will be set in winter as well, and we might again see the monsters of the Upside Down at their most powerful form, as we did in Season 1.
