Are you ready to celebrate all things Stranger Things? Netflix has big plans for Stranger Things Day 2021 including more details on the much-anticipated, long-awaited fourth season coming in 2022.
Stranger Things Day is celebrated on November 6th in honor of the day Will Byers went missing in Hawkins, Indiana back in 1983. This year’s event will launch new footage from season four as well as Stranger Things limited-edition merchandise and special content released on the series’ social media channels.

Cara Buono is Karen Wheeler, Natalia Dyer is Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton is Jonathan Byers, Joe Keery is Steve Harrington, Sadie Sink is Max, and Erica Sinclair returns as fan-favorite Priah Ferguson.
