Netflix adds to its original content with Stranger Things, a thriller that fans of Steven Spielberg and Stephen King fans will appreciate. Set in 1983, the series follows what happens in a small town when a mother, played by Winona Ryder, and the local authority seek answers following the mysterious disappearance of her 12-year-old son. What they find are top-secret experiments being conducted by the government and other supernatural forces at play. The series itself mirrors the production of the cult classics released during that time period — preview the trailer above ahead of its July 15 release on the streaming platform.
