The Journey Up Until Now
Stranger Things is a love letter to the ’80s classic genre films that captivated a generation. Set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana, the series begins with the mysterious disappearance of a young boy. His friends and family embark on a search for answers, uncovering a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, top-secret government experiments, and a dangerous gateway to a powerful yet sinister realm.
Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things debuted in July 2016 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular series. Its fourth season alone amassed over 140.7 million views globally. Rooted in ’80s nostalgia, the show has sparked a resurgence of pop culture items from the decade, including Eggo waffles and New Coke.

The series has also garnered over 70 awards worldwide, including Emmys and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, and has been nominated for over 230 awards.
