10 Fun Facts About Stranger Things On Netflix You May Not Know!

October 19, 2017 by Kelly 72 Comments

This is a sponsored post and I have been compensated. All opinions are all mine. Stranger Things is the Netflix phenomenon that took the internet by storm when it released. It stars a group of children who find themselves involved with a series of strange events. It struck a chord with so many for its authentic portrayal of 1980’s America. And also hit on nostalgia of horror and science fiction films from the time.

Fun Facts About Stranger Things On Netflix

The first season followed a group of boys looking into the disappearance of one of their friends. And strange things start happening in their town. They meet a girl with psychokinetic abilities who is somehow connected to it all. Season 2, will be available on Netflix from October 27th. It takes place one year after the events of the first season. The boys struggle to get back to normal lives and strange things start happening once again. If you are as crazy about Stranger Things as I am, I bet you will enjoy these 10 fun facts about Stranger Things On Netflix you may not know about:
