Stranger Things

Stranger Things is an American science fiction-horror web television series created by the Duffer Brothers. It is written and directed by Matt and Ross Duffer and executive-produced by Shawn Levy. The first season stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Cara Buono and Matthew Modine, with Noah Schnapp and Joe Keery in recurring roles. The second season will see Schnapp and Keery promoted to series regulars, along with the addition of Sadie Sink, and Dacre Montgomery. The first season focuses on the disappearance of a young boy, and the appearance of a psychokinetic girl, who helps his friends in their search, while the boy's older brother, his mother, and the town police chief start their own investigations.

The series is set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, and is an homage to 1980s pop culture,[4] inspired and aesthetically informed by the works of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, Stephen King, Robert Zemeckis, and George Lucas, among others.

The show was released on Netflix on July 15, 2016. It received critical acclaim for its characterization, pacing, atmosphere, acting, soundtrack, directing, writing, and homages to 1980s genre films. On August 31, 2016, Netflix renewed the series for the second season of nine episodes, to be released in 2017.
