The Stranger Things universe is about to expand with its first spinoff show, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, and the new trailer gave fans the first footage of several new monsters and the show’s brand-new character. It also brought new details on the cast, and one of the most interesting reveals is that Robert Englund, who played the memorable Victor Creel in season 4, is now playing a character named Cosmo in Tales From ’85. Unfortutnely we don’t have any details on who Cosmo is, but if Englund is voicing them, they are certainly going to stand out in a major way.
Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 Will Provide A Rare Chance To Do Something New In The Past
Tales From ’85 will be an animated prequel series, but it will take place in a specific space in time between seasons 2 and 3. This presented a space that is unexplored in the main timeline, which is great since you get to revisit the main cast again, but also presented challenges in that the Upside Down was sealed off thanks to the events of season 2. That meant having to come up with some new elements to create the suspense, and from the looks of the trailer, it feels like the team has done just that.
Showrunner Eric Robles discussed these elements with Tudum, saying, “It’s got the thrill of being young, being a kid, and going on these thrilling adventures. But then there’s this essence of real danger, real stakes,” Robles said. “This is one of the rarest opportunities that we’re ever going to get to be with the main characters. We get to go back in time and really just hang out with these kids.”
