"The show-the epic saga of a group of friends led by a girl with telekinetic abilities who try, repeatedly, to save their town of Hawkins, Indiana, from supernatural ruin-instantly became a massive hit, spawning what has since become a five-season behemoth of a television series. Now, after nine years, we've made it to the end with the first volume of a staggered-release final season premiering on Wednesday."
"We're introduced to the world of our characters, which is set in the town of Hawkins, Indiana, in 1983. The show centers a friend group of four lovable, nerdy preteen boys-Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo), and Will Byers (Noah Schnapp)-whose favorite activity is playing Dungeons & Dragons together. One night, Will gets kidnapped by an unknown creature (eventually dubbed the Demogorgon) and taken to a different realm mirroring their own, which they eventually call "the Upside Down.""
Stranger Things premiered on Netflix in 2016, combining '80s nostalgia, supernatural fantasy, and a core cast of nerdy kids. The series grew into a five-season phenomenon centered in Hawkins, Indiana, following a friend group led by a girl with telekinetic powers who repeatedly fights to save the town. The final season is released in a staggered format: Volume 1 premiered Wednesday, with the second part arriving on Christmas Day and the series finale on New Year's Eve. Season 1, set in 1983, introduces Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Will; Will is abducted by the Demogorgon and taken to the Upside Down. Joyce and Jonathan search for Will with Chief Jim Hopper's assistance.
