Stranger Things Season 5 wrapped its live-action run with a December 31, 2025 finale, leaving fans awaiting franchise expansion amid Netflix's push to sustain the IP through spin-offs. The animated prequel series Stranger Things: Tales From '85, executive produced by the Duffer Brothers, premieres all 10 episodes on Netflix April 23, following limited theatrical screenings today, April 18; set between Seasons 2 and 3, it introduces new Hawkins threats with familiar voices like Mike and Will. Traders eye whether this qualifies as a "new Stranger Things episode," especially as the Duffers' Netflix deal expires this month before shifting to Paramount, with no confirmed mainline revival yet. Critical buzz from recent trailers highlights fresh monsters and punky newcomers, but resolution hinges on official branding and streaming drop.

For the purposes of this market, an “episode” must be listed as a distinct episode of Stranger Things on Netflix and be playable for general subscribers in the United States. A behind-the-scenes featurette, documentary, trailer, recap, cast interview, deleted scenes compilation, or other bonus content will not count unless it is clearly presented by Netflix as an official numbered or titled episode of the series.
If Netflix releases an alternate cut, extended cut, or “secret” version of an already-released episode, it will not count unless it is listed as a separate episode entry on Netflix.
The primary resolution source for this market will be the Stranger Things title page on Netflix (episode list and availability), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
