Just when you think you’re out of the Upside Down , Netflix pulls you back in. On this “Stranger Things Day”—November 6, which marks the date when Will Byers first went missing back in season 1—Netflix announced the first live-action spin-off of its juggernaut hit Stranger Things .
On November 6, Netflix formally announced Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure , with a teaser that confirmed the show will be a prequel set in 1950s Nevada. More specifically, April 19, 1955, in Marion, Nevada. (This also dates the show just before the stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow , per Netflix’s press release.) The series is currently slated to premiere in 2028.
Netflix revealed little else about the series, except for its creative personnel. The Duffer Brothers are back as executive producers, along with Kate Trefy, who has worked with the Duffers on the original Stranger Things and co-wrote the stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow . Director Joe Wright, whose feature credits include Pride & Prejudice (2005), Darkest Hour (2017), and Cyrano (2021), will direct the first three episodes. Production is scheduled to take place in New Mexico.
