The show revolves around the fictional small town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s as a group of kids discover a paranormal world underneath their own. One of the show’s main characters, Will Byers, was kidnapped and taken to the “Upside Down” in the show’s premiere episode in July 2016.
His group of friends, who make up a Dungeons & Dragons party, also discover a mysterious girl with telekinetic powers who has no identity other than the number 11 tattooed on her wrist. Eleven and the group of boys work together to uncover the mysteries hidden in Hawkins and bring Will home.
And while Will did come back, his connection to the supernatural world didn’t end there. Over the series, the group of preteens grow up fighting against the unknown powers seeking to take over Hawkins while they learn more about Eleven’s origins — and her connection to the “Upside Down.”
The “Stranger Things” world has expanded to include a large ensemble of characters beloved by fans — who worry these characters may not live through the final battle against the forces controlling the “Upside Down.”
Many eagerly counted down the hours on social media as they waited for the show’s latest episodes to drop.
It’s a big day for Netflix, which is hosting “NFL Christmas Gameday” for a second year. The streaming platform cross-promoted the two holiday events on its social platforms.
“Stranger Things” actors Caleb McLaughlin and Gaten Matarazzo were featured in a video promoting the programming on Netflix’s social media accounts.
“It is a big day,” Matarazzo says in the video, while chomping on popcorn alongside McLaughlin.
The streaming platform also posted an image of NFL players biking through the “Upside Down” in a crossover between the two streaming events. The NFL called it a “perfect Christmas Day combo.”
