The long-gestating “Stranger Things” spinoff has officially been ordered to series at Netflix, Variety has learned.

The show is titled “Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure” and is set to debut in 2028. The announcement comes as part of “Stranger Things” Day, the annual celebration to mark the day Will Byers disappeared in the original show — Nov. 6, 1983.

This is now the fourth project set in the “Stranger Things” universe. In addition to the wildly popular mothership show, which ended its run at the end of 2025, there is also the animated series “Stranger Things: Tales from ’85” and the stage show “Stranger Things: First Shadow,” the latter of which delves more into the backstory of Henry Creel, aka Vecna. The spinoff was first reported to be in the works in 2022.
