Netflix NFLX.O announced the series in a statement issued Monday, but gave no title or premiere date and few details.
“We’ve always dreamed of an animated ‘Stranger Things’ in the style of the Saturday morning cartoons we grew up loving,” the Duffer brothers, creators of the original “Stranger Things” series, said in the statement.
The series debuted on Netflix in 2016 and became the company’s most-watched English-language series. It tells the story of a group of teenagers who are faced with unusual events in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.
Netflix had already announced that it was preparing a “Stranger Things” spin-off series and a play that will premiere in London’s West End in November.
