Stranger Things: Tales from '85 Season 1 (2026) Soundtrack Guide

Set during the winter of 1985 between Seasons 2 and 3, Stranger Things: Tales From '85 is an animated spinoff following Eleven and her friends as they navigate life in Hawkins after the gate to the Upside Down was seemingly closed. The group—including Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max—strives for a normal routine of D&D and snowball fights, but a new "paranormal mystery" emerges as the dimension's influence begins seeping back into town through everyday objects. Alongside a tough new ally and "tinkerer" named Nikki Baxter, the kids must investigate fresh supernatural threats like pumpkin-zombies and vine monsters without alerting adults or government officials, all while keeping the stakes personal to protect Eleven.
