Project Summary
Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure returns to the Stranger Things universe with a 1950s prequel set in Marion, Nevada—decades before the events of Hawkins. Created by Kate Trefry and Matt and Ross Duffer, the series is produced by 21Laps Entertainment and Upside Down Pictures for Netflix. Trefry, who wrote for Stranger Things since Season 2 and penned the stage play The First Shadow, serves as showrunner and writer on her first series. BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning director Joe Wright directs the first three episodes. Production is scheduled to begin in 2027 in New Mexico, with casting underway for an ensemble of new characters. The series promises to explore new mythology while maintaining the heart and mystery of the flagship series. Netflix has set a 2028 premiere for the prequel, which hints at UFO and extraterrestrial themes with its tagline "watch the skies."
