The storyline of the Stranger Things

The Netflix original series, “Stranger Things”, is set in the 1980s, when a young boy disappears into thin air during a very strange event. It was this mystery that drew viewers to the show. The Stranger Things show on Netflix is about a group of boys and their search for the missing child and for answers about what happened on that day.

Stranger things take its title from an unexplained phenomenon called dark force or dark energy (referred to as “The Upside Down”) which occasionally appears in Hawkins Indiana. The media, as well as the local police, have been unable to find any connection between the missing child and the dark energy but many believe that they are connected.

The show is focused on a group of preteens and teenagers (most of them being shy and lonely) who work together to find their friend who was kidnapped. They explore “The Upside Down” in hopes of finding him while encountering terrifying creatures such as demo dogs.

In this strange dimension, they uncover surprising secrets about themselves, their town, and their family members. They have to do almost everything they can to finally get back home safely with Will Byers.

Papa may return in season 5 of Stranger Things, according to Matthew Modine

Stranger Things season 4 recently made its debut to rave reviews, but what does that mean for the future of Netflix’s smash hit series?

Matthew Modine, who plays Dr. Brenner on the show and served as a major antagonist for much of the first two seasons, hinted about his return in an interview with Collider.

“Yeah, he’s going to come back. He’s pretty cool. I just met him the other day, and he seems like a cool guy, which is good. I mean, I know he kind of has some hidden agenda, but I don’t think it’s too bad. If you can get past it and understand that it’s his purpose, then great… [laughs] He’ll be back in season five. That was my deal with David [Fincher] and Netflix because they are great to work with. They are very supportive of the project, so it wasn’t hard at all to do that.
