The Teaser on Netflix
Netflix officially released its first teaser for the upcoming prequel series to Strangers Things captioning this first teaser, "Before Hawkins, there was Marion." This teaser was one-minute long and featured the following:
Opening Scene: A bike cycle abandoned with a glitching radio attached in the nighttime.
Next scene: An ominous "Restricted Area" warning sign on a barbed wire fence. Below that is a smaller text that reads, "Photography is prohibited. Use of deadly force authorized."
Next Scene: Then a title comes onto the scene “April 19, 1955. Marion, Nevada.” Upon a cloudy sky.
Series title reveal: The full name of the prequel series is revealed "Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure" which is followed by the year “2028” in bold.
Closing scene: The ring of a bell among sinister noises before closing out.
What Does This Teaser Confirm Exactly?
The confirmation is simple. It confirms that decades before Hawkins, Indiana something occurred in the small town called Marion in Nevada. Not only do we get a different setting, but also a different time. As well as new heroes, villains, and the possibility of a new mythology that still somehow carries the Stranger Things universe's DNA.
In conclusion, this teaser shows a very moody, 1955 Nevada scene with an odd bike, restricted area warning sign. While also establishing time, place, and tone for a fresh new look into the Strangers Things world.
