That’s the takeaway from Netflix’s announcement that the
streamer has greenlit a new animated series.
According to the announcement, the as-yet-untitled series
will be “set within the Duffer Brothers’ ‘Stranger Things’ universe and
developed by Flying Bark Productions and Executive Producer Eric Robles.”
While details about the animated “Stranger Thing” series are
scarce, the Duffer Brothers issued a statement indicating the series will be an
homage to 1990s-era cartoons.
“We’ve always dreamed of an animated ‘Stranger Things’ in
the vein of the Saturday morning cartoons that we grew up loving, and to see
this dream realized has been absolutely thrilling,” the statement declared.
“We couldn’t be more blown away by what Eric Robles and his team have come up with — the scripts and artwork are incredible, and we can’t wait to share more with you! The adventure continues.”
