Stranger Things prequel 'Other Worlds' set for 2028 Netflix release
Netflix has announced the upcoming prequel series 'Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure', set to premiere in 2028. The announcement, made on November 6, 2026, coincides with 'Stranger Things Day', commemorating the date Will Byers vanished in the original series (November 6, 1983). The teaser trailer, a one-minute shadowy clip, introduces a nighttime scene featuring an abandoned bicycle with a glitching radio, a barbed wire fence marked 'Restricted Area' with a warning about photography and deadly force, and a title card indicating 'April 19, 1955. Marion, Nevada.' The Duffer Brothers, creators of Stranger Things, described the series as 'Stranger Things, but also thrillingly fresh, with a new setting, new heroes and villains.' The prequel is co-created by the Duffer Brothers and writer Kate Trefry, who also wrote 'Stranger Things: The First Shadow.' Trefry will serve as showrunner and executive producer, with filming taking place in New Mexico. The Duffers expressed their excitement about bringing the project to life, noting it has been a dream for many years. Trefry called it an 'insane honour and privilege' to create a 'wholly new story' that will 'blow your minds and break your hearts all over again.' The announcement follows the conclusion of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, which ended with an extended episode on New Year's Eve 2025. The Duffer Brothers previously stated they would reveal Eleven's fate '20 years from now,' with Millie Bobby Brown confirming only three people know her character's true ending. This prequel marks the fourth project in the Stranger Things universe, following the animated series 'Stranger Things: Tales From '85' and the stage production 'Stranger Things: The First Shadow.'
