Stranger Things
Updated November 2, 2026
It only gets stranger...
Stranger Things streams in the US on one subscription service — Netflix — and nowhere else right now: no free stream, and no rent-or-buy option. Here is what that means for watching it.
When a young boy disappears from a small town, his friends and family search for answers amid strange events. Their efforts draw them into a mystery involving secret experiments, frightening supernatural forces, and an unusual girl, as bonds of friendship are tested by dangers they barely understand.
