Stranger Things: Tales from '85 - Which Seasons of the Netflix show should you watch before the animated series premieres? Details Explored

For the viewers who were completely devastated after Stranger Things ended with its fifth season, Stranger Things: Tales from '85 is something to look forward to. The upcoming animated series will be bringing back most of the favorite characters that the viewers became attached to.

A significant aspect of the storyline of this animated series will shed light on the life of the character between two particular seasons of the original series. So, here are the details of the seasons, which need to be rewatched by the viewers before the new animated series, Stranger Things: Tales from '85, drops on April 23.

Seasons to watch before Stranger Things: Tales from '85 drops

Before Stranger Things: Tales from '85 drops, viewers need to gear up and rewatch two seasons of the original series. This is because the rewatch will help them understand the storyline of the new series. Viewers need to binge-watch the first and the second seasons of Stranger Things before diving into the new storyline of the upcoming animated series so that they can grasp the storyline easily.

It might be quite disheartening for many viewers that the new series will not continue the storyline of the final season of Stranger Things. At the end of the final season of the original series, Eleven’s fate comes with a layer of ambiguity. Whether she is alive or not raised the anticipation of the viewers. However, the upcoming animated series will not focus on this aspect; rather, the storyline will shed light on the complications that come in the lives of the characters between the second and the third season.

Eric Robles, the producer of the upcoming series, notes that the storyline contains “the thrill of being young, being a kid, and going to these thrilling adventures”. It cannot be denied that the first and second seasons of Stranger Things received an immense positive response. This is because of the adventurous and grim nature of the storyline. Hence, getting this same aspect in Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85 raises the level of anticipation for the viewers.

Stranger Things: Tales from '85 will contain most of the characters from the original series. However, the cast will not be the same for the animated series. Instead of Millie Bobby Brown taking on the character of Eleven in the animated series, Brooklyn Davey will bring life to Eleven’s character in the animated series.

Similarly, David Harbour will also not be returning for this upcoming series. Harbour's character, Jim Hopper, will be taken by Brett Gipson. Some of the other cast members of Stranger Things: Tales from '85 are Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Braxton Quinney, Jeremy Jordan, Alysia Reiner, Benjamin Plessala, etc.

The storyline of Stranger Things: Tales from '85 will shed light on the lives of the characters in the year 1985 when Hawkins will experience a chilling winter. The characters will now have to “fight new monsters” while also trying to “unravel” more and more mysteries. The Duffer brothers also shared their excitement about getting Eric Robles on the team for this series.

They added that they were “blown away” by the elements that Eric Robles and his team brought forth for the series. Robles, in an interview, spoke about Stranger Things: Tales from '85 being one of the “rarest opportunities” to bring back the “main characters”. For a series such as Stranger Things, which through the years rose to immense fame, getting to watch the lives of the main characters with fresh storylines is a great opportunity for the fans as well.

With only a few days left before the new animated series graces our screens, viewers need to tune in to watch the first and second seasons of Stranger Things. This will help them prepare for this new journey. The first season of the original series consists of eight episodes. The second season of the original series consists of nine episodes.
