Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 season 2 is scheduled to arrive on Netflix on September 17, 2026. Netflix describes the new season as a Valentine’s Day story in which the group must investigate ghostly apparitions and strange creatures disrupting Hawkins.
The animated series uses the Stranger Things world while focusing on a new chapter rather than repeating the live-action season schedule. Netflix’s official listing confirms the season date and broad story setup, but it does not yet reveal a complete episode guide.
