Stranger Things fans expressed a divided reaction to the Tales From ’85 Season 2 announcement teaser on April 29. Netflix confirmed the animated spinoff scored a quick renewal just days after its premiere. The second season will arrive on the streaming platform this fall.
The official Stranger Things Instagram account shared the news with the caption “big news nerds!!! Tales From ’85 season 2 — coming this fall!” Fans on X showed enthusiasm for the renewal. One user wrote, “hell yeah, another dive into that 80s vibe! can’t wait to see what they cook up in Hawkins this time.”
Another user on X praised the show’s visual style. “I’m so glad we are getting more episodes. I love this animation style,” they posted. One fan expressed excitement about specific character dynamics in the animated series. “Can we please get like 50 seasons of this? Mileven feast is just too good,” the user wrote on X.
Instagram users offered a sharper response to the announcement. “Season 2? Dawg we didn’t even want the first one,” one comment read. “Haven’t we suffered enough,” another user commented. A third user added, “no one asked for this btw.” Other fans pushed back against the criticism. “The hate is so unnecessary. It doesn’t have to be canon but it’s keeping the characters alive and I love it!” one user responded.
Meanwhile, showrunner Eric Robles teased a new paranormal threat emerging from abandoned silver mines in Hawkins. Additionally, he referenced a mysterious blue flower last seen blooming in the Upside Down. Notably, Matt and Ross Duffer serve as executive producers on the animated continuation set between Seasons 2 and 3 of the original series.
