A Stranger Things animated series is coming to Netflix
Netflix has announced that an animated series based on its hit original show Stranger Things is in the works. The series will be set within the universe of the show.
Created by the same creators as the show, Matt and Ross Duffer, commonly referred to as the Duffer Brothers, the animated series will be produced under their Upside Down Pictures production banner, along with Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen via 21 Laps and Eric Robles via Flying Bark Productions.
“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 twins told Netflix.
“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…” they added.
Robles previously created animated shows such as Random! Cartoons, Fanboy & Chum Chum and Glitch Techs.
The popular Netflix original has also inspired mobile games such as Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales, Stranger Things:1984 and Stranger Things 3: The Game,. It has also inspired a new play Stranger Things: The First Shadow that is currently running on London’s West End.
