Character Posters Including New Character Released for ‘Stranger Things: Tales From ’85’

New character posters for Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 have been released. The character posters feature a new character being introduced for the animated series, Nikki Baxter.

Voiced by Odessa A’zion, showrunner Eric Robles officially introduced the character saying, “‘Nikki is the audience’s eyes. She comes into this world completely new. She’s got her own issues that she’s been dealing with, and it’s these kids who step into her world in a sense.’ So when the chaos starts to unfold, ‘she’s got to figure things out with the kids because there’s no way that she could just walk away [from what she’s seen] and pretend like it never happened.'”

In the series, “Return to Hawkins with Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, an exciting new animated series from showrunner Eric Robles and executive producers the Duffer Brothers. 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 have settled back into a normal life of D&D, snowball fights, and quiet days. But beneath the ice, something terrifying has awakened. Could it be from the Upside Down? From the depths of Hawkins Lab? Or from 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 series will premiere on Netflix on April 23, 2026. Hmm I don’t love the idea of this character, but I am intrigued.
