Facts About Stranger Things
Not a cheap show
The vision of Stranger Things and the fact it was set in the 80s with a grainy background was never going to be cheap for Netflix. As a result, the budget of the show mirrors that of a Hollywood movie.
The Duffers were quite pleased with this considering they saw the first two seasons of the show as two very long movies. In the first two seasons, the total cost of production was a huge $120 million.
