AMC Theatres is partnering with Netflix for the screenings, which will take place at 34 theaters across the U.S., with showings at 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Additional viewings will be held at the Paris Theater in New York and Netflix House Philadelphia. Attendees in the U.S. will also receive an exclusive collectible while supplies last.
Tales From ’85 brings back several main characters from the flagship series. New voice actors include Jeremy Jordan as Steve Harrington, Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max Mayfield, Luca Diaz as Mike Wheeler, Elisha “EJ” Williams as Lucas Sinclair, Braxton Quinney as Dustin Henderson, Benjamin Plessala as Will Byers, and Brett Gipson as Jim Hopper.
The series is set in winter 1985, between seasons 2 and 3, and follows the group as they discover something terrifying beneath the town.
