It’s hard to believe, but Stranger Things debuted back in 2016.
At the time, Netflix’s bizarre supernatural series faced an uncertain future.
It doesn’t have any big-name stars (with the possible exception of Matthew Modine’s small role), and its “Stand By Me”-meets-“X-Files” premise may leave viewers scratching their heads.
Ten years later, Stranger Things is arguably Netflix’s biggest success story.
Each new season ranks among the streamer’s most-watched shows of the year, and few other Netflix originals have had a comparable cultural impact.
So it’s understandable that the streaming brass are being accommodating when it comes to ST’s budget needs and production schedules.

The move is a bit surprising for a show that already has so many loose ends to tie up.
But Henry Campbell Bower, who plays Vecna, said fans shouldn’t feel guilty about the writers’ ability to stick the landing.
“Season 4 was great, but this feels even bigger,” Ball said in the special.
