TechRadar’s April 24 weekend streaming guide spotlighted Netflix’s “Stranger Things: Tales From ’85” and Timothée Chalamet’s “Marty Supreme” as two of the biggest new releases. (techradar.com) The TechRadar item was published April 24 and billed the pair as part of “the biggest releases of the last few days” across Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and other services. (techradar.com) The “Stranger Things” title in that roundup was not a vague future tease. Netflix released “Stranger Things: Tales From ’85” on April 23, and Tudum said all 10 episodes of season 1 were available to stream that day. (netflix.com) Netflix said the animated series is set in winter 1985 in Hawkins and follows the original kids as they face new monsters and a new paranormal mystery. Showrunner Eric Robles leads the series with Matt and Ross Duffer attached as executive producers. (netflix.com) That makes the TechRadar mention notable for a simple reason: the “Stranger Things” franchise is now operating beyond the main live-action show, which Tudum framed as having already ended before this spinoff arrived. (netflix.com) (cnet.com) The cast list also ties the two highlighted projects together. Netflix said Odessa A’zion voices new character Nikki Baxter in “Tales From ’85,” and identified her in Tudum as coming off “Marty Supreme.” (netflix.com) A separate April 25 weekend-release roundup listed “Marty Supreme” with an April 24 streaming date on Amazon Prime Video and described it as a 1950s table-tennis drama starring Chalamet. (abplive.com) So the TechRadar card was less about an unannounced spinoff than about a newly launched one. By the weekend of April 24, “Stranger Things: Tales From ’85” had already arrived on Netflix, and “Marty Supreme” was being packaged beside it as another fresh watch. (techradar.com) (netflix.com)
