Stranger Things fans in tears as Netflix posts epic tribute video to mark show’s five-year anniversary

NETFLIX wowed fans of Stranger Things with an emotional montage to celebrate five years since the show's premiere.

With the much-anticipated fourth season coming up, fans are so excited to see the the new storylines unfold.

The montage pays homage to the Netflix series and features highlights from the show such as Steve's hair, that pink dress, eggos and more.

The series broke records as season three was watched by 40.7 million households across the world within just four days.

It's hard to believe that the show was rejected by 15-20 studios before Netflix picked it up.


Director Shawn Levy told The Sydney Morning Herald: "When we sold this, it had no pre-awareness title, no big star actor or show runner, just these young twin brothers with a crazy idea, vividly realised, and a movie director as the producer.

"They really empowered us and let us lead the way."

Debuting on Netflix in 2016, the 80s-set series follows a group of youths surrounded by supernatural events in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.


Taking to Twitter, Netflix posted a video with the caption: "Stranger Things premiered 5 years ago today — and in that time, 196 million households have chosen to watch at least one episode of the show! Let's go back to where it all began…"

Stranger Things was created by the Duffer Brothers and stars Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Charlie Heaton, Winona Ryder, Natalia Dyer, and David Harbour.

Newcomers to the fourth season's cast include Robert Englund, Jamie Campbell Bower, Joseph Quinn, and Eduardo Franco.
