Ahead of the release of Stranger Things Season 4 next year, Netflix is celebrating Stranger Things Day 2021 this Saturday, Nov. 6. The streaming giant promises that it will be "teasing new footage and exclusive content on our social channels, hosting live fan experiences and introducing limited edition merchandise online and in brick and mortar stores around the world."
Stranger Things Day is held on Nov. 6 as a way of commemorating a very significant date in the hit sci-fi horror series' canon. "On November 6, 1983, Will Byers went missing in Hawkins, Indiana," Netflix's official press release reads. "Long after the town gave up the search, his friends kept looking... and discovered a mysterious girl known only by a number: Eleven. She was alone, hunted and extremely powerful. Eleven would stop at nothing to help them find their friend."
The official schedule for Stranger Things Day promises a look at Season 4's west coast setting, a sneak peek at Season 4's episode titles, the first official map of the fictional town of Hawkins, a first look at Netflix's physical Stranger Things pop-up stores, the launch of a new Stranger Things: Winter Special comic book from Dark Horse Comics and much more throughout the day of Nov. 6.
The full schedule for this year's Stranger Things Day can be found below:
