Overview
- Set between Seasons 2 and 3 in Hawkins, the story follows Eleven and friends as they investigate a new paranormal threat.
- Netflix released a first trailer this week that showcases the series’ look and timeline placement.
- Eric Robles is showrunner and executive producer alongside Matt and Ross Duffer, Shawn Levy, Hilary Leavitt, and Dan Cohen, with animation by Flying Bark Productions.
- The voice lineup includes Brooklyn Davey Norstedt (Eleven), Luca Diaz (Mike), Braxton Quinney (Dustin), Benjamin Plessala (Will), Brett Gipson (Hopper), and Jeremy Jordan (Steve), with Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elisha “EJ” Williams, Odessa A’zion, Janeane Garofalo, and Lou Diamond Phillips also joining.
- Early commentary welcomes the franchise expansion but faults the CGI aesthetic, the recast voices, and perceived continuity risks such as revisiting Hopper’s overprotective dynamic.
