The Upside Down, brave characters, and horrifying monsters ranging from the Mind Flayer to Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower Brown) are just a few reasons why fans are counting down the days until Stranger Things season 5 comes to Netflix. When the show premiered in July 2016, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) came to Hawkins, Indiana, and what happened next led to one of the streaming service's most successful shows. Seasons 1 through 4 featured quirky new characters, terrible deaths, and the theme of good winning over evil.
