On Nov. 6, 1983, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) went missing in Hawkins, Indiana. Long after the town gave up the search, his friends kept looking … and discovered a mysterious girl known only by a number: Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). She was alone, hunted, and extremely powerful. Eleven would stop at nothing to help them find their friend.
Fans everywhere celebrate Nov. 6 as Stranger Things Day, a special day to share their love for the world of Stranger Things. But the love has grown so large that we’re not just celebrating on Nov. 6 — now we’re celebrating Stranger Season.
Here at Netflix, we’re marking the occasion with special screenings, new limited-edition merchandise online and in stores around the world, and more! Learn how you can celebrate and pay proper homage to Will the Wise below.

Pandora
Pandora is launching its first jewelry collaboration with Netflix, inspired by Stranger Things. The Pandora x Stranger Things collection offers fans worldwide wearable, collectible symbols of their favorite show. A full jewelry assortment, including charms, bracelets, rings, and earrings, has been crafted with love to reflect iconic moments from the show with subtle nods to ’80s style.
“For us, it was important to go beyond literal interpretations of the show and its characters and instead tap into this nostalgic idea of the world before the internet, calling to mind an ’80s sensibility of budget horror films, arcades, neon colors, and heavy metal,” said Pandora creative directors A. Filippo Ficarelli and Francesco Terzo. “Thematically, we wanted to tap into the values shared by both Stranger Things and Pandora, of community and friendship.”
The 12-piece collection taps into the power of connection, inviting fans to light up the Upside Down with jewelry like glow-in-the-dark charms and friendship rings. Standout designs include the Demogorgon motif and the 011 pieces, which pay homage to Eleven’s powerful yet vulnerable journey. The collection reminds us that just like Eleven, who found strength in her friends, we create unbreakable bonds through shared passions. Just like the group from Hawkins, we form communities around the stories we love. We’re reminded that having friends by your side is the ultimate superpower.
Halloween costumes and decor
Stranger Season is basically synonymous with spooky season, so you can celebrate by dressing up as your favorite Stranger Things characters on Halloween night — from Mike and Will to the Scoops Troop. You can also spice up your lawn (and entice trick-or-treaters) with this life-size 7-foot-tall inflatable Demogorgon and more fun decor from retailers nationwide, including Stranger Things pumpkin decorating and carving kits.
Dark Horse comics
Spell-slinging, sword-swinging, and the luck of the dice shaped the lives of the Stranger Things kids well before they had real-life monsters to face. Now, see how Eddie Munson’s reign of the Hellfire Club began in the new Stranger Things x Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of Hellfire comic series from Dark Horse comics. Launching February 2025, in monthly releases, the story will follow Eddie’s rise to de facto leader of the Hellfire Club and feature flashbacks to the legendary campaign that got him hooked on D&D, his recruitment of Lucas, Dustin, and Mike, as well as glimpses into the fantasy worlds they conquered together. Mark your calendars for these release dates— Issue No. 1: Feb. 19; Issue No. 2: March 26; Issue No. 3; April 30; and Issue No. 4: June 4. Nerds, this one’s for you!
Talking Heads
Get ready to dive into the Upside Down with our limited edition Stranger Things x Talking Heads collab! Available for a limited time on Netflix.shop, we’re bringing you a killer collection inspired by the iconic track “Psycho Killer,” featured in Season 4 of Stranger Things. (The song introduces Season 4 fan favorite, Eddie Munson.)
