Though the beloved Netflix series is ending after season 5, Stranger Things: Tales From '85 will further expand the franchise in animated form. Stranger Things is one of Netflix’s biggest hits, revolving around a group of D&D-loving kids who discover monsters lurking in their own town. The show draws influence from ‘80s sci-fi classics, like E.T. and Altered States, to tell stories about supernatural forces invading the American suburbs. Netflix is clearly interested in keeping the franchise alive after the flagship series ends its run, and that includes a cartoon.
