In the eerie world of Stranger Things, every twist and turn has the power to send shivers down the spines of fans. Now, with the Hawkins adventures coming to an end, the need to celebrate the day it all began has been given even more importance. With fans all over the world sharing their favorite moments from the captivating Millie Bobby Brown starrer, the platform that brought the supernatural series to life chose to go down a rather startling path.

As Stranger Day 2023 finally came, Netflix made an intriguing choice in celebration. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the streaming giant shared a horrific moment involving the character Will Byers to mark this special day. With the dates coinciding with the day Noah Schnapp’s character went missing in 1983, that is what the streamer decided to bring back.

The post instantly sparked a flurry of reactions and emotions from fans of the show. However, not all of them were positive. While everyone was excited to celebrate the much-awaited day, fans were also hoping for an update on when the fifth and final season of the series would finally be making its way into the light.

While some of the cast members are ready to say their goodbyes to the franchise, fans of the show are nowhere close to being ready for it.

In the past, Netflix has always given more priority to the show’s other stars like Eleven, Mike Wheeler, Jim Hopper, and others. Although with the series reaching its end, it looks like even the streaming giant is feeling a touch of nostalgia. However, their sudden throwback to the horrific day garnered the attention of many social media users.

Some fans of the series were glad that the character was finally being acknowledged. However, there were others who could only focus on the fact that it had been 40 years since the ordeal.

There were also a few fans of Stranger Things who expressed their frustration at the delays for the final season. Although the delays are due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, some fans are hoping to get an update soon.

It may still be a long way to go before fans of the series actually get an update. However, that has not diminished the excitement and hype that everyone who loves the show has been feeling. While Shawn Levy may have opened up about his plans for the final season of Stranger Things, nothing can truly be confirmed until the strike comes to an end.
