Netflix isn't done with Hawkins, Indiana just yet. The streamer just announced a live-action spinoff of Stranger Things which is expected to debut in 2028. It's called Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure.

There aren't a lot of details, but the show will be going back in time quite a bit. According to Netflix, Other Worlds is "a prequel set in the 1950s, before Stranger Things and before the stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow. " Franchise creators the Duffer brothers are back on board, and Stranger Things veteran Kate Trefry will serve as showrunner. British director Joe Wright is set to helm the first three episodes.
