Stranger Things fans ‘disturbed’ after discovering wild conspiracy theory inspired Netflix series

Stranger Things fans have been left shocked after discovering the origins of the hit Netflix series.

First hitting screens in 2016, the science fiction horror drama show was created by the Duffer Brothers and stars actors including Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard and Sadie Sink in the cast.

One of the streaming platform’s most popular shows, it’s gone on to release another three seasons since then, with a fifth and final outing currently in production.

For the uninitiated, the show is set in the 1980s and follows the residents of the fictional small town of Hawkins, Indiana, as they are plagued by a hostile alternate dimension known as the Upside Down.
