Despite taking place in between Stranger Things seasons 2 and 3, showrunner Eric Robles says Stranger Things: Tales From '85 is more than just filler and that everything in the upcoming animated show happens for a reason.
"It really has all the feels," Robles explains in the new issue of SFX magazine. "We didn't want to just do a Monster Of The Week show. We want to make sure that things happen for a reason, and there's not just creatures for the sake of creatures. Everything that happens in the show, whether it's monster-related or character-related, there's a reason for it, and it's not just a miscellaneous monster. So if you follow from episode one to the finale, you'll understand how every single piece mattered within the season as a whole."
