The Story So Far

Stranger Things is set in the 1980s and follows a group of teenagers in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, who must protect their town from creatures emerging from an alternate dimension known as the Upside Down, after a secret government facility opens a portal to it.

Throughout the first four seasons, the teenagers and residents of Hawkins have battled various monsters from the Upside Down with the help of Eleven, a teenage girl with powerful psychic abilities.
