The series is being developed by the Duffer Brothers and longtime Stranger Things writer Kate Trefry. Set in the 1950s, the prequel is set to explore a new chapter in the Stranger Things universe, decades before the events of the original series. The original follows a group of youngsters in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, as they encounter supernatural forces.

The new series is also set before the events of the stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow , which explores Henry Creel’s past in Hawkins in 1959. The Duffer Brothers had been developing the idea for Other Worlds for several years. The duo described it as a fresh take on the franchise, adding that the series would feature a new setting, characters, and antagonists.

Kate Trefry, who also wrote The First Shadow , is the showrunner, co-creator, and writer. She will executive produce the series alongside BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning filmmaker Joe Wright, who will also direct the first three episodes. Trefry said she was excited to return to the world of Stranger Things with a new story while retaining the horror, mystery, and wonder associated with the original series.

The production of the series will take place in New Mexico.
