Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 Trailer Brings an Expansive Franchise Back to Its Roots

By the time Vecna was finally defeated in the main series finale earlier this year, the narrative scope of *Stranger Things* had evolved significantly, arguably becoming much larger and more complex than its original, charming premise. Fans and critics alike noted the broadening storyline. Now, with the release of the trailer for ‘Stranger Things: Tales From ’85,’ there’s a clear indication that the franchise aims to reconnect with the foundational elements and simpler storytelling that initially captivated audiences, promising a refreshing return to basics.
