Netflix Teases Stranger Things Spinoff Other Worlds for 2028
The first teaser for the live-action spinoff sets the story in Marion, Nevada, on April 19, 1955, away from Hawkins.
Netflix has released the first teaser for Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure, the first live-action spinoff of Stranger Things, confirming a 2028 release window. The teaser arrived in November 2026, according to screenrant.com.
The spinoff is set in Marion, Nevada, on April 19, 1955. The teaser presents it with a new setting and story rather than as a continuation of the Hawkins storyline.
Stranger Things ran from 2016 to 2025, with its cast playing the show's central characters across that run.
In the finale, a mysterious briefcase appeared. Co-creator Matt Duffer said at the time that its contents and connection to Dimension X would feed into the then-untitled spinoff.
Duffer also said the spinoff would carry a completely different mythology rather than deeply exploring the Mind Flayer, and would answer some remaining loose threads.
A separate story, four years earlier
The stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow is set in 1959, four years after the 1955 setting of the spinoff.
