Stranger Things is a real ratings success. The Duffer Brothers’ homage to 1980s science fiction has become a global sensation since it first aired in 2016.

It’s now a massive franchise that has spawned numerous spin-offs, including a West End show and a live, immersive experience. In 2022, the fourth season became the most watched show of the entire year among all broadcasters. And now (after a two-year wait) the fifth season is finally here.
