This isn’t Netflix’s first foray into theatrical release. The first two episodes of “One Piece” Season 2 premiered in theaters on March 10, and the streamer brought the final episode of the “Stranger Things” series to the big screen last December.
The animated spinoff from showrunner Eric Robles and executive producers the Duffer Brothers will be available worldwide on Netflix on April 23rd.
“In the winter of 1985, snow blankets the town and the horrors of the Upside Down are finally fading. Our heroes Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max return to their normal lives of D&D, snowball fights, and quiet days,” the official logline reads. “But beneath the ice, something terrifying has awakened. Is it from the Upside Down? From the depths of Hawkins Laboratory? Or somewhere else entirely? Our heroes must race to solve this mystery and save Hawkins in this new story set in the Stranger Things universe.”
The voice cast includes Jeremy Jordan as Steve Harrington, Brooklyn Davey Norstead as Eleven, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Elisha “EJ” Williams as Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Benjamin Plesara as Will, and Brett Gipson as Hopper.
The Duffer Brothers will serve as executive producers, along with Robles, Hilary Leavitt of Upside Down Pictures, Shawn Levy of 21 Laps, and Dan Cohen.
