If you’re still having a hard time letting go of Stranger Things, Netflix just dropped the teaser trailer for its prequel spin-off, Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure, to smooth over the hubbub around the fandom’s collective hallucination of “conformity gate.”

While Other Worlds’ announcement occurring on Stranger Things Day, i.e., the day Will Byers was kidnapped in 1983, is a neat little celebration for the series, the thirty-second teaser trailer itself is incredibly scant on details about what the show will actually be about. But for the gumshoes among us, it’s enough to put together the corner puzzle pieces the original show left behind. The biggest reveal from the trailer is that it’s set in the year 1955 in Marion, Nevada. Based on plot threads from Stranger Things‘ series finale, we can only assume the show will dive into the events before Henry Creel wandered into a cave and came into contact with a mysterious substance that gave him the powers that would turn him into Vecna.

As Variety notes, Other Worlds marks the fourth Stranger Things spin-off. Outside of the show proper ( and not counting its finale documentary , which kinda gave away its creators feeling a bit aimless building the railroad tracks as its proverbial train was nearing its end), there’s the animated series, Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 , and its stage show, Stranger Things: First Shadow (which also dives into Vecna’s backstory). The Duffer brothers are executive producing Other Worlds alongside series writer and showrunner Kate Trefry.
