Netflix is expanding the Stranger Things universe with a new live-action series called Other Worlds. The prequel is set to arrive in 2028 and takes the story back to Nevada in 1955.
Called Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure, the series will explore a new chapter long before the events of Stranger Things. It takes place in the fictional town of Marion, Nevada, and introduces a fresh cast of heroes, villains, and mysteries.
Netflix also dropped a short teaser to give fans a first look at the project. The video shows a bicycle, dark storm clouds, and the date April 19, 1955. It ends with a message telling viewers to “watch the skies,” teasing the strange events at the center of the story.
The series comes from Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, along with longtime writer Kate Trefry. Trefry will lead the project as creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer.
Award-winning filmmaker Joe Wright is also on board. He will direct the first three episodes and serve as an executive producer.
Netflix says Other Worlds will keep the mystery, horror, and adventure fans know from Stranger Things. At the same time, it will head in a new direction with a different setting and story.
Production is set to take place in New Mexico. For now, Netflix is keeping most of the plot under wraps, but the teaser makes it clear that another strange mystery is on the way.
