What are people saying about Other Worlds?

I hope this dives deeper into more about Vecna's backstory

Is that story of Henrys life

Because both take place in 1955?

Its impossible to be back in the upside down coz vecna modded the upside down but they could go to dimension x

Yes lets goo cant wait

I'm really hoping this is going to be good.

joe wright on a 1950s stranger things prequel is the best casting news yet

Should still be in Hawkins. Hawkins forever

Does anybody know if it is similar to the play?

Sounds like the broadway show.

Makes no sense to me why they wouldnt do spinoffs from the original cast. So many opportunities there.

we do not need this thoughhhhh

It's over, let it go.

Nah fix the last season and the awkward ending

They couldnt even get the last seasons right now they wanna make a prequel

2028 ? Seriously!....here we go again

Maybe they could give us an actual ending to the real series first

They wanna milk the cow till its dry lmfao
