According to Deadline, Netflix has given an official greenlight on the untitled Stranger Things animated series. Flying Bark Productions and executive producer Eric Robles are developing the project. However, it is unknown yet what the plot of the animated series will be.
"We’ve always dreamed of an animated Stranger Things in the vein of the Saturday morning cartoons that we grew up loving, and to see this dream realized has been absolutely thrilling," the Duffer Brothers said in a statement.
"We couldn’t be more blown away by what Eric Robles and his team have come up with — the scripts and artwork are incredible, and we can’t wait to share more with you! The adventure continues."
While the story and setting of the animated series are currently under wraps, it is still interesting nonetheless that Stranger Things is expanding into the animated world and it is more intriguing that the style and tone might be in the vein of Saturday morning cartoons that most people grew up on.
