A Stranger Things Prequel Series Is Coming To Netflix In 2028
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Netflix has greenlit "Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure," a live-action prequel series set in Marion, Nevada, in 1955, slated to premiere in 2028. The show is co-created, showrun and written by Kate Trefry, a longtime "Stranger Things" writer who penned the stage play "Stranger Things: The First Shadow," while series creators Matt and Ross Duffer will executive produce despite their overall deal at Paramount. The prequel predates both the original series and the stage play, and a teaser shows an abandoned bicycle with a radio near a "restricted area" sign before an ominous boom in the sky. The announcement, timed to "Stranger Things Day," extends Netflix's most valuable franchise beyond the flagship show's upcoming final season as the streamer looks to retain subscribers with a known property. Casting has not been revealed; watch for talent announcements and whether the 2028 date holds as Netflix builds out the franchise's timeline.
