The expanding universe of Hawkins is getting a brand new audio identity. According to IGN South Africa, the upcoming animated series Stranger Things: Tales From '85 has officially locked in its voice cast, introducing a fresh lineup of actors to voice iconic characters like Steve Harrington, who will be played by Jeremy Jordan. This completely new vocal direction marks a significant shift for the franchise as it explores new storytelling mediums outside of live-action television.
For fans who treat the television series as a cultural touchstone and social viewing event, this animated offshoot offers a compelling reason to stay plugged into the franchise. The choice to bring in fresh vocal talent rather than relying on the original live-action cast opens the door for a different kind of performance. It allows the animation team to lean into a distinct Saturday morning serial vibe while keeping the supernatural stakes intact.
As transmedia storytelling becomes the gold standard for major entertainment IPs, expanding into animation is a smart play for keeping player and viewer communities engaged between major season drops. Whether this new series will tie directly into upcoming gaming tie-ins or digital collectibles remains to be seen, but it certainly gives the community plenty of lore to dissect on streams and social feeds.
