Stranger Things is a multimedia franchise based on the American series created by the Duffer Brothers for Netflix. The titular series, Stranger Things, debuted in July 2016, attracting record viewership and widespread critical acclaim. Set in the 1980s, the original show follows supernatural events in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. Its blend of government-lab conspiracy, child protagonists, and 1980s pop culture nostalgia has earned praise for its writing, atmosphere, ensemble cast, and homage to 1980s genre films. The first four seasons garnered multiple award nominations (including 12 Primetime Emmy Awards) and numerous accolades.

The franchise includes a stage play, planned spin-off series, a line of novels and comics, several video games, and extensive licensed merchandise.

Television series

Stranger Things (2016–2025)

Main articles: Stranger Things and List of Stranger Things episodes

Stranger Things was created, written, and directed by the Duffer Brothers, produced in association with Shawn Levy's 21 Laps Entertainment and Duffers' Monkey Massacre Productions. The Duffers conceived the show as a blend of 1980s Spielbergian adventure and Stephen King–style horror.[1][2]

The first season (set in 1983) premiered on Netflix on July 15, 2016. It introduced the disappearance of young Will Byers and the appearance of a telekinetic girl named Eleven escaping from a secretive government lab.[3] The first season consists of eight episodes. In October 2017, Netflix released the second season, which focuses on the aftermath of Will's time spent in the alternate "Upside Down" alongside a new entity known as the Mind Flayer. The third season arrived on July 4, 2019. It is set in the summer of 1985, focusing on the heroes' battle with the Mind Flayer at the new Starcourt Mall and culminating in a dramatic confrontation that changes the town's status quo.[4][5] The fourth season (split into two volumes released on May 27 and July 1, 2022) follows the group in early 1986 as the Upside Down's influence resurfaces via the new villain Vecna, even as the characters face challenges separated across multiple locations. The fifth and final season was released in three parts throughout November and December 2025.[6]

Stranger Things: Tales from '85 (2026–present)

Main article: Stranger Things: Tales from '85

In July 2022, it was revealed that a spin-off series was in the works.[7] In April 2023, Netflix greenlit a straight-to-series order for an animated series that is set in the Stranger Things universe. The animation for the series is being provided by Flying Bark Productions with Eric Robles, the Duffer Brothers, Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen as executive producers on the show.[8] The Duffer Brothers said the series would be in the vein of the Saturday-morning cartoons they grew up with.[9] In 2025, it was revealed that the animated spin-off will be titled Stranger Things: Tales from '85, and as the title implies, it is set in the winter of 1985, between the second and third seasons of the main series. The series will introduce a new character named Nikki Baxter who is said to be "a tinker", and who has pinkish hair that's short on the sides.[10] On November 6, 2025, Netflix released a first look teaser for Tales from '85, also revealing its voice cast.[11]

The first season of Tales from '85 was released in its entirety on April 23, 2026.[12] In April 2026, the series was renewed for a second season.[13]

Future

In December 2022, reports of an anime series spinoff titled Stranger Things: Tokyo came out.[14] However, the existence of this alleged series has not been officially acknowledged by Netflix or the Duffer Brothers.[15]

A live-action spin-off of Stranger Things, separate from any animated version, is still in development.[8] In an article published on August 5, 2025, Finn Wolfhard described the planned spin-off as being "like David Lynch's 'Twin Peaks.' Sort of an anthology and different tones but similar universe or same universe. I think set in different places and all tied together through this mythology of the Upside Down. Don't even talk about Hawkins. Don't have any mention of our characters. They were toying around with ideas in case Netflix wanted them. I'm sure they do, and I'm sure it will happen, but there's nothing official. I think the coolest way, the way that I would do it, there has to be labs everywhere. If there was one in Hawkins, there's one in Russia. Where else could they be?".[16]

Aftershows and documentaries

Beyond Stranger Things (2017)

With the release of the second season of the series, Netflix also released Beyond Stranger Things, an aftershow hosted by Jim Rash. The guests are cast and crew from the series, including the Duffer Brothers and the series' stars, who discuss the development and production of the series and its larger mythology. Unlike previous aftershows created by Embassy Row, such as Talking Dead and Talking Bad, Beyond Stranger Things is intended to be watched after a screening of the entire second season.[17]

Behind the Scenes: Stranger Things Podcast (2019)

Accompanying season five, a series of behind the scenes features were published on YouTube after the release of each volume under the title Stranger Things 5: Inside the Episodes.[24]

Games

Mobile games

Stranger Things: The Game, also known as Stranger Things: 1984, is a free mobile game developed by BonusXP in collaboration with Netflix. It was released for iOS and Android devices on October 4, 2017. The game features retro-style pixel art reminiscent of Super Nintendo-era titles and is loosely based on the events following the first season. Players begin as Chief Jim Hopper and can unlock additional characters—each with unique abilities—as the game progresses.[141][142]

BonusXP had under a year to develop the game and chose a gameplay style inspired by The Legend of Zelda, citing similarities in exploration and tone between the two franchises. The in-game map of Hawkins was based on Google Street View imagery of Jackson, Georgia, where the show is filmed. To maintain secrecy, the development team avoided hiring outside testers, instead relying on feedback from family members, which contributed to the game's two difficulty settings.[143]

Completing the game rewards players with a clip from the first episode of the second season.[144] Within its first week, the game was downloaded over 3 million times, becoming one of the top mobile downloads and receiving positive reviews from critics. Following the release of season two, an update added Max as a playable character and introduced support for Amazon Fire TV, including controller compatibility.[143] The game was nominated for "Mobile Game" at the 14th British Academy Games Awards.[145][146]

A second mobile game developed by BonusXP, Stranger Things 3: The Game, was announced during The Game Awards 2018 and released on July 4, 2019, as a tie-in to the show's third season.[147] The game features isometric action gameplay, allowing players to control characters such as Joyce, Hopper, Max, and Eleven through various levels inspired by 1980s video games. While closely following the narrative of season three, the game also includes additional story content developed in collaboration with the Duffer Brothers.[148][149] Unlike the first game, it was released on multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[150]

Both Stranger Things: The Game and Stranger Things 3: The Game were among the launch titles for Netflix's mobile gaming service, which debuted in November 2021.[151]

A third mobile game, titled Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales, was developed by Next Games. Initially announced as a location-based role-playing game,[149] it was instead released in 2021 as a story-driven puzzle role-playing game.[152]

VR games

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced a Stranger Things game for PlayStation VR, exclusive to PlayStation 4. A teaser trailer featured the iconic Christmas lights scene from the first season.[153] The game, titled Stranger Things: The VR Experience, was released on December 12, 2017.[citation needed]

A separate, episodic VR game titled Stranger Things VR, developed and published by Tender Claws, was released across major virtual reality platforms beginning on February 22, 2024.[154]

Cancelled Telltale game

In June 2018, Netflix announced a partnership with Telltale Games to develop an episodic adventure game based on Stranger Things, alongside plans to adapt other Telltale titles into interactive experiences for the Netflix platform. The Stranger Things game was intended to be set in the spring of 1985, bridging the gap between the second and third seasons of the series. However, the project was cancelled after Telltale Games laid off the majority of its staff in September 2018.[155][156][157][158][159] A companion title, Kids Next Door, which was being developed by Night School Studio as a narrative precursor, was also cancelled following Telltale's closure.[160]

Tabletop games

In May 2019, Hasbro released a licensed Stranger Things-themed Dungeons & Dragons starter set. The kit includes rulebooks, character sheets, dice, and a campaign titled The Hunt for the Thessalhydra, which is based on the adventure played by the characters in the show's first season. The set also features Demogorgon miniatures and is presented as though written by the character Mike Wheeler.[161]

In 2021, Magic: The Gathering introduced a set of Stranger Things-themed crossover cards as part of its limited-edition Secret Lair series.[162]

Collaborations

In 2021, Roblox, an online gaming platform, collaborated with Netflix to release an experience called Stranger Things: Starcourt Mall.[163] In this experience, players have the opportunity to compete in mini-games based on the show and complete quests to earn rewards that could be used on the Roblox avatar.[164]

In 2025, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 released an update which included 5 different Stranger Things related missions led by Murray Bauman, and a recreation of Hawkins, which includes more than 40 locations.[165]

Other media

Stage play

Main article: Stranger Things: The First Shadow

In July 2022, it was revealed that a prequel stage play set in the Stranger Things universe was in development,[166] produced by Sonia Friedman and Stephen Daldry.[167] In March 2023, the play was officially announced as Stranger Things: The First Shadow, written by Kate Trefry. It premiered on December 14, 2023, at the Phoenix Theatre in London's West End. The production received five Olivier Award nominations and won two.[168] In August 2024, it was announced that the play would transfer to Broadway, with previews beginning at the Marquis Theatre on March 28, 2025, and an official opening set for April 22, 2025.[169]

Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things: The First Shadow

A Netflix documentary titled Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things: The First Shadow premiered on April 15, 2025, offering a behind-the-scenes look at developing and staging The First Shadow.[170] Directed by Jon Halperin and produced by Angus Wall, Kent Kubena, Terry Leonard (with Matt Bell as executive producer), the film chronicles the creative journey—and logistical hurdles—faced by the cast and crew from West End rehearsals to Broadway previews.[171]

Podcasts

A six-episode scripted podcast companion to the Rebel Robin novel, entitled Rebel Robin: Surviving Hawkins, was released in mid-2021.[172] Maya Hawke reprises her role as Robin, Sean Maher plays her favorite teacher Mr. Hauser, and Lauren Shippen writes and directs.[173]

Stranger Things Store

Starting in November 2021, Netflix has opened pop-up Stranger Things Stores, which blend both retail and immersive experiences, in several cities.[174] As of January 2024, the locations in New York City, Chicago, Paris, Miami, Dallas, and Las Vegas had closed, with one location in São Paulo open.[175]

Stranger Things Experience

From June 16 to 19, 2022, Netflix South Africa partnered with Fourways Mall to operate the Stranger Things Experience.[176] The Experience previously operated at the Canal Walk Mall in Cape Town.[177]

In other media

Lego introduced a Stranger Things set called "The Upside Down", based on a version of the Byers' home and its replica in the Upside Down, in May 2019.[178][179][180] In 2020, The Upside Down set was awarded "Toy of the Year" and also "Specialty Toy of the Year" by the Toy Association.[181] Netflix partnered with Epic Games to include some elements of Stranger Things as cosmetics in Fortnite Battle Royale in the weeks preceding the show's third season launch.[149] Stranger Things DLC for the VR game Face Your Fears was also released.[182][183][184]

Within a September 17, 2019, update for the asymmetric multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight, the Demogorgon was released as one of the killers, along with Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington as survivors. The chapter was later removed on November 17, 2021,[185] before being returned to the game on November 6, 2023.[186] A second collaboration with the game ran from January 27, 2026, which introduced Eleven, Dustin Henderson, Robin Buckley and Eddie Munson as Survivors, and Vecna as a Killer.[187] Stranger Things-themed vehicles and cosmetics were added to Rocket League for its 2019 Halloween event.[188] In the MOBA Smite, a number of Stranger Things-themed character skins were created and released as part of a crossover Battle Pass, such as Starcourt Eleven Scylla, Hopper Apollo, The Demogorgon Bakasura and The Mind Flayer Sylvanus.[189]

As part of its release on Netflix on April 14, 2017, the cast of the rebooted version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffed on the first part of "Chapter 1" of Stranger Things.[190] Google used augmented reality (AR) "stickers" of Stranger Things characters to introduce its ARCore technology announced alongside its Pixel 2 phone in October 2017.[191] Sesame Street created a young audience-appropriate spoof of Stranger Things, called Sharing Things, released in November 2017; it featured Cookie Monster as the "Cookiegorgon", Grover as Lucas, Ernie as Dustin, and included several nods to the narrative of the second season.[192]

The Simpsons episode "Treehouse of Horror XXX", which aired on October 20, 2019, included the segment Danger Things, a parody of Stranger Things.[193] The classic 1980s bicycles used in the series have been produced in limited runs that sell out quickly.[194] The mobile game The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross had a Stranger Things crossover event and the story followed the characters being transported to the universe of the anime. The Stranger Things characters could be unlocked for a limited time.[195] Stranger Things would also get a crossover with Transformers releasing a figure of Autobot Code Red.[196][197]

On January 5, 2026, professional wrestling promotion WWE held a live television special on Netflix to mark the one-year anniversary of Raw on the platform. It served as a Stranger Things themed crossover episode.[198]
