Animated Stranger Things: Here are the first 6 official minutes
The opening sequence immediately immerses viewers in the winter setting of January 1985
Netflix changes pace in promoting Stranger Things and decides to preview the first 6 minutes of the new animated series Tales from ’85, offering a concrete taste of the spin-off's tone and aesthetic.
The opening sequence immediately immerses viewers in the winter setting of January 1985, placing it between the second and third seasons of the original saga. Hawkins appears unusually quiet: snow everywhere, slower rhythms, and a group of kids trying to live a finally normal daily life.

But it's a fragile calm. The images immediately suggest that something is stirring beneath the surface, anticipating a threat that might not be exclusively linked to the Upside Down. The tone remains faithful to the spirit of the series, but with a more dynamic visual style, typical of contemporary animation.
The project is led by Eric Robles, with the direct involvement of creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer, ensuring narrative continuity. Tales from ’85 will debut with 10 episodes on April 23 on Netflix. This first clip doesn't reveal too much, but it makes one thing clear: Hawkins hasn't finished hiding its secrets yet.
