Stranger Things

Created by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, 'Stranger Things' has been immensely successful since it launched on Netflix in 2016.

The siblings had pitched the show to numerous networks beforehand but were told that a sci-fi show about children was unlikely to be a hit.

Matt recalled an executive telling them: "You either gotta make it into a kids show or make it about this Hopper character investigating paranormal activity around town."
