Netflix clearly likes what it sees in the Upside Down’s newest form. The streamer just renewed “Stranger Things: Tales From ’85” for a second season. This news arrived only five days after its big April 23 debut. Fans are clearly hungry for more 1980s nostalgia and animated monster hunting. How does it fit in with the live-action series? The show currently bridges the gap between the live-action second and third seasons. It seems Hawkins is far from safe, even in a winter wonderland. High Ratings and Icy Terrors The series pulled in a massive 2.8 million views during its first week. That is a huge win for a niche animated spinoff. The story finds our favorite band of nerds enjoying a brief, snowy peace. They are back to playing D&D and having snowball fights in the cold.
