'The number of followers who have already watched Volume 1 is astounding; the response has been greater than we ever could have imagined. The series is already a decade old, and seeing how the fan base not only endures but continues to grow has been incredibly rewarding for us,' added the Duffer brothers, the creators of the series. This figure places 'Stranger Things' as the third-best launch in the platform's history, surpassed only by seasons 2 and 3 of the South Korean 'Squid Game,' according to Variety. Set in the 1980s, 'Stranger Things' follows a group of teenage friends as they discover secret government experiments and supernatural forces from the so-called 'Upside Down.'

The new season takes place in the fall of 1987, when Hawkins is marked by the opening of new interdimensional 'Rifts,' and the local gang of heroes unites to find and kill 'Vecna,' while the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified the search for Eleven, who has disappeared.
