Stranger Things is one of the biggest gems in Netflix’s crown, and became one of the streaming giant’s earliest original hit series in the mid-2010s.
Netflix’s own stats say the show’s fourth season alone was viewed more than 140 million times, or around 1.8bn viewing hours.
As the show’s fandom grew, so did the profile of its predominantly young cast.
Millie Bobby Brown, 12 when she first appeared as Eleven in 2016, has gone on to become one of Hollywood’s brightest stars.
The British actress has appeared in two Godzilla films and a Sherlock Holmes spin-off, based on the detective’s teenager sister, Enola.
Meanwhile, Stranger Things spawned the West End production The First Shadow and revitalised the career of two-time Academy Award nominee Winona Ryder.
David Harbour’s performance as Jim Hopper has proved to be his gateway into blockbuster hits including Marvel films Black Widow and Thunderbolts.
