TV Show Timelines: Comparing the Lengthy Run of 'Stranger Things' to Other Notable Series
"Stranger Things," a popular Netflix series set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, first premiered in 2016 and is set to conclude in 2025. The show's production time, which involves creating supernatural elements like Demogorgons and the Upside Down, has led to a lengthy run. During this period, several other TV shows have started and ended, including Netflix's Marvel Cinematic Universe series like "Luke Cage" and HBO's acclaimed "Succession," which began in 2018 and ended in 2023. Other notable shows that aired during this time frame include "The Good Place," "Atlanta," "This is Us," "Westworld," "The Crown," "13 Reasons Why," "Snowfall," "Riverdale," "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," "Young Sheldon," and "The Handmaid's Tale."
