Stranger Things Prequel Other Worlds Greenlit at Netflix

Netflix has officially greenlit a new live-action Stranger Things prequel series titled Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure, slated to premiere in 2028. Co-created by the Duffer Brothers and Kate Trefry, who also serves as showrunner, the narrative unfolds in Marion, Nevada, in April 1955, preceding both the flagship show and the stage play The First Shadow. Acclaimed director Joe Wright is attached to helm the opening three episodes while executive producing alongside a veteran team that includes Shawn Levy. Designed to expand the franchise mythology and resolve lingering plot threads, the upcoming project features an entirely new cast of characters and a fresh setting, steering away from the 1980s era of the original series. This episode includes AI-generated content.
