Stranger Things fans have all said the same thing after Netflix has confirmed a new animated spin-off series is officially in development. On Monday (April 10), Stranger Things’ creators The Duffer Brothers released a statement confirming they are working on the untitled project, which is set to be “in the vein of Saturday morning cartoons” the duo grew up with.
“We’ve always dreamed of an animated Stranger Things in the vein of the Saturday morning cartoons that we grew up loving, and to see this dream realized has been absolutely thrilling,” Matt and Ross Duffer said.
Plot details are yet to be unveiled and it is unclear if any of the characters from the live-action series will feature. The Duffers will executive produce the new series via their Upside Down Pictures production banner, along with The Adam Project director Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen of 21 Laps and Eric Robles of Flying Bark Productions.
