Of course, the show is a massive love letter to the world of genre of the 1980s with obvious homages to John Carpenter, Stephen King, Steven Spielberg, Richard Donner, Joe Dante, David Cronenberg, James Cameron, and all sorts of comic/video game elements with the pen-and-paper role playing game “Dungeons & Dragons” being a key part of the hit streaming series.
An official logline courtesy of Netflix:
The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
While this is the end of the main series, there are a handful of spinoffs in the works at Netflix that are expected to flesh out and expand the “Stranger Things” universe. With that said, Volume 1 drops November 26, Volume 2 on Christmas Day, and the show’s finale on New Year’s Eve.
