'Stranger Things' Is Not Ending After All! But Will The "continuation" Lead Only To Major Disappointments?
Previous promises regarding the definitive conclusion seem to be broken, leaving fans confused about the series' future direction.
The record-breaking Stranger Things seems poised to turn into a disappointment. The conclusion of the story appears to open a door to continuing the series. This feels a bit like too little too late, especially when reflecting on the immense secrecy surrounding the final season.
This concerns the new 'Stranger Things' series, where all the main characters will return. The Duffer Brothers are working on an animated series titled Stranger Things: Tales from '85. For some, this may come off as an excuse to keep pushing forward.
The new adventures take place between the second and third seasons of the original series. This way, fans can enjoy more adventures, with the voices being provided by an entirely new cast.
However, the creators have made it clear that no new additions will be made to the existing mythology of the world that millions have come to know so well. Stranger Things: Tales from '85 offers an expansion and should not be seen as a spin-off.
You may wonder where exactly the difference lies. Animation surely offers fewer limitations than live-action, but it seems mainly to revolve around inconsequential stories. Nothing groundbreaking is presented, and the crucial question remains what the core of the new series will be.
The animated series is set to launch in 2026, giving viewers time to learn how the original story concludes.
The setup is such that the ending poses no obstacle. Stranger Things: Tales From '85 does not aim to recontextualize anything. The production is, at this moment, just as much of a puzzle as the final season itself. The first part of the final season of Stranger Things will be available on Netflix from November 26.
