According to showrunner Eric Robles, the spin-off expands the mythology of Hawkins while keeping the vibe playfully nostalgic, taking place between the second and third seasons of the live-action original, in the winter of 1985.

The new show will include a detail from the old one, though: the rock Henry Creel finds in that briefcase in the final season of Stranger Things. "The spinoff is going to delve into that and explain that, and you’re going to understand it," Matt Duffer told Variety in January. "But it’s a completely different mythology. So it’s not a deep exploration of the Mind Flayer or anything like that. It’s very fresh and very new, but yes, it will answer some of the loose threads that are remaining."

Who's in the cast of the untitled live-action Stranger Things spinoff?
However, it seems like an O.G. Stranger Things star also has intel about the spinoff. Likening the planned series to David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, Finn Wolfhard told Variety that the live-action show is "sort of an anthology and different tones but similar universe or same universe. I think set in different places and all tied together through this mythology of the Upside Down. Don’t even talk about Hawkins. Don’t have any mention of our characters," he joked.
When is the untitled live-action Stranger Things spinoff coming out?
A release window has not yet been announced for the live-action Stranger Things spinoff, but Parade will keep you posted as soon as we know timeframes!

Stranger Things: The First Shadow acts both as a prequel to the five-season Netflix series as well as its own standalone story, taking place 20 years before Stranger Things and following Hopper, Joyce Maldonado (later Joyce Byers), Bob Newby and Henry Creel as students.
“As this thrilling mystery races forward, shadows of the past are unleashed, relationships are tested, and the town of Hawkins faces the ultimate question: Can the power of friendship outshine the darkness within?” the description continues.
