Matt and Ross Duffer discuss the new Stranger Things animated spin-off, Tales From '85, set between Seasons 2 and 3, capturing the spirit of the show.

But the Duffers have confirmed another spinoff in the works as well — only that will feature "a different decade and different characters, but of course, still connected to the Stranger Things universe," Ross told THR. "It’s an idea we’ve had for years and something we’re just really excited and passionate about."

The Google animation for Stranger Things Season 5 features an interactive Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) 20-sided dice on its search page, which, when clicked, rolls and cracks into a red screen, ultimately flipping your search screen into the “Upside Down” for a final D&D-style adventure. A D&D dice will appear at the bottom of the homepage.

As noted in several viral videos on TikTok, the slip up appeared in Stranger Things 5 episode 7 in a scene where Holly Wheeler is trapped in Vecna’s lair. The sleeve of her sweater slides back revealing the logo of Under Armour, a sportswear brand that was founded in 1996, nine years after Holly was supposed to be taken.

Stranger Things season 5 has no post-credits scene, even after the finale. Here’s what the ending’s special credits show, plus the briefcase rock tease that fuels spinoff theories.

Stranger Things wrapped up its run on December 31, 2025. Netflix dropped the finale, The Rightside Up, right at 8 PM on New Year’s Eve.
