Netflix has announced a live-action Stranger Things spinoff called Other Worlds, set to debut in 2028.
Netflix has announced Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure, a live-action spinoff of Stranger Things set to debut in 2028. The show is a prequel set in 1950s Nevada, before the events of the original Stranger Things series and before the stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow.
The Duffer Brothers, who created the original series, are back on board as co-creators. Kate Trefry, a long-time Stranger Things writer who also wrote the prequel play The First Shadow, will serve as showrunner. British director Joe Wright, known for films including Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, will direct the first three episodes.
The Duffers described the series as 'Stranger Things, but also thrillingly fresh, with a new setting, new heroes and villains', though they noted they were unable to reveal further details. Netflix Head of Scripted Series Jinny Howe said the show would feature 'all the heart, mystery, and spectacle of the original series'. The announcement comes as Netflix continues to expand the Stranger Things franchise following the end of the main series last year.
