Netflix renews Stranger Things animated spin-off Tales From '85 for season 2

Stranger Things: Tales From '85 is coming back for a second season.

The early renewal comes after the series debuted at number 7 in the Netflix Global Top 10, which puts it in the top 15 animated series debuts of all time for the streamer. Per the official press release, "After uncovering a fearsome mystery at the end of Season 1, Eleven (rooklyn Davey Norstedt), Mike (Luca Diaz), Will (Benjamin Plessala), Dustin (Braxton Quinney), Lucas (Elisha 'EJ' Williams), Max (Jolie Hoang-Rappaport), and Nikki (Odessa A’zion) will take on another perilous threat when new episodes head to Netflix this fall."

The first season of Tales From '85 is meant to take place between Stranger Things seasons 2 and 3. Because Nikki is still part of the gang, and because the episodes begin with school in session and then go into winter break, the second season will likely still take place in that in-between period (because I'm not sure how else they'd do it given that Nikki is not in the live-action show and the show is supposed to be canon to the series). The first season saw the Party fight off a Demogorgon-type species. The second season, according to the teaser trailer, will see the kiddos investigate "a haunting."
