Stranger Things ends after five seasons of terror in Hawkins, Indiana, and Netflix plans to make a little more money from it.
When Stranger Things was first released in 2016, it was still relatively new to Netflix in terms of creating original content. Despite this (or perhaps because of this), The Duffer Brothers Show became a cultural phenomenon, turning young actors like Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard and Noah Schnapp into overnight stars and creating entirely new careers for David Harbor and Winona Ryder .
