More ‘Stranger Things’ Episodes Confirmed, Official Trailer Arrives With Release Date
Stranger Things has had a rocky few months, to say the least. While Season 5 was already picking up plenty of heat for its first two volumes, the finale led to backlash from fans.
So enormous, in fact, that it led to petitions demanding recuts from Netflix and fan theories that had many convinced “Chapter Eight: The Rightside Up” was completely fake and that a new episode would follow. Well, that didn’t happen, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t new episodes on the way. Actually, there’s a whole new season coming.
After months of waiting, the first teaser for Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 is finally here.
To say that we haven’t had an official Tales From ’85 teaser would be a lie. We did get the official announcement teaser a few months back, which featured the Duffer brothers and showrunner and executive producer Eric Robles and stills and footage from the upcoming series. But until now, there has been no teaser or trailer unburdened by commentary.
This new teaser follows a poster that was shared by Stranger Things across social media yesterday (February 1), which showed the Hawkins gang (Eleven, Mike, Will, Lucas, Dustin, and Max), with newcomer Nikki Baxter, facing a new Upside Down monster in the snow.
