Fans of OTT web series need no introduction to Stranger Things, the globally popular sci-fi drama that has captivated audiences since its debut in 2016. Spanning five seasons, the series earned massive worldwide acclaim, particularly for its first four installments. However, the fifth and final season, released recently, received a mixed response from viewers. While the main series has officially concluded, the creators appear far from done with the franchise.

In a fresh development, an animated series based on the Stranger Things universe has been announced. The makers have now released the first teaser, confirming that the iconic characters will return in animated form. The new project revisits the familiar storyline set between 1984 and 1989, focusing on a group of young friends who confront mysterious forces and supernatural creatures in the town of Hawkins.

Although the core concept remains largely unchanged, the animated adaptation introduces a new visual style and features different voice actors for the characters. This creative shift aims to present the beloved story in a refreshed format while retaining its original essence.

The animated Stranger Things series is set to premiere on Netflix on April 23. With this expansion into animation, it is evident that the makers are determined to keep the Stranger Things universe alive for both long-time fans and new audiences.
