Netflix To Develop A 'Stranger Things' Animated Series

Stranger Things will end after five seasons on Netflix, but the streaming service is looking to continue the fan-favorite as an animated series. Netflix has given the green light for an untitled animated series that will be developed by Flying Bark Productions and executive producer Eric Robles. No word on just what the animated series will be about.

The series by the Duffer Brothers premiered in 2016 and follows the residents of the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, plagued with paranormal events and an alternate dimension known as the Upside Down.

Executive producers include the Duffer Brothers on behalf of Upside Down Pictures, Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen on behalf of 21 Laps, and Robles on behalf of Flying Bark.

“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,” Matt and Ross Duffer said Monday in a statement. “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.”
