When Lin-Manuel Miranda hosted the second episode of Season 42 on October 8, 2016, the 1980s-set supernatural show had only just became a monster hit. Season 2 was still a year away, but SNL had Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers ( Mikey Day and Alex Moffat) present a sneak peek at what comes next.

Stranger Things officially comes to an end after five seasons in a thrilling finale. We explained everything that happened in the season finale.

Max made "a deal with God" and ran straight up the hill into Lucas' arms. It was magic. We talk about it ahead of the Stranger Things finale.

Stranger Things 5 star Caleb McLaughlin reflects on his journey as Lucas Sinclair, his relationship with Sadie Sink's Max Mayfield, and more.

The day we've all been dreading has come. We can't believe the show that started as a small-town sci-fi mystery and grew into one of the biggest hits on Netflix

After a tearful goodbye to Mike, Eleven disappeared as the crew's explosives destroyed the Upside Down. Viewers were left to assume she died, and as the episode jumped ahead 18 months later, a grieving Mike wanted to skip his high school graduation because he was "not ok with moving on."

Stranger Things ended with a glimpse into the future that revealed that Max and Lucas stay together AND finally get to go on their movie date. And while we only saw them cuddling in the audience, the Duffer brothers just went ahead and revealed what movie they were seeing.

On the Friday afternoon of Dec. 19, Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer gathered at the Netflix-owned Paris Theatre in New York City with cast members who were in town for press appearances.
