Netflix has officially renewed *Stranger Things: Tales from '85* for a second season. The announcement came five days after the premiere of the first season, which launched on April 23, 2026. New episodes will premiere in the fall of 2026 and continue the story of the group of teenagers from Hawkins as they face a new supernatural threat.

Showrunner Eric Robles revealed that the second season will revolve around the mystery of Hawkins’ abandoned silver mines and continue the storyline from the finale. The decision to renew the series followed the project’s strong debut on Netflix’s global top charts. Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max will return in the second season. According to the creators, the story was originally conceived as a multi-season arc.

"Tales from the 85th" became the first animated spin-off of the franchise created by the Duffer brothers. The original "Stranger Things" won Emmy, SAG, and Saturn Awards and remains one of Netflix’s most successful projects.

In general, I will not mind the continuation of this children's cartoon and of course I will watch it. I took the first look of the evening, it turned out quite nice, but I didn't have super expectations for it either, so it turned out quite smoothly.

I haven't had time to evaluate season 1 yet, and season 2 is already on the way.

@Гринч33: either they did it in advance, and now they've just announced a sequel, or the rumors are true and the neural network is still being used. Nowadays, no one makes a dozen episodes of animation in six months. Except for the Chinese with weekly non-stops, and even those in 3D on the Unreal Engine.

I haven't watched the cartoon yet, but I'm surprised that the series was renewed for the next season, as I was sure that it would be a one-season. Now I wonder how many seasons they will have in a year?

We continue to milk the cow, even when she can barely walk.

OK.. Unexpectedly, but I'm definitely waiting! For some reason, I didn't think there would be another season, but I absolutely want to, because I really, really liked the first season. Cool!
