What country of origin is listed for Stranger Things?

The country of origin listed for Stranger Things is the United States.

The series was created by American brothers Matt and Ross Duffer and is produced for Netflix. Its story is set mainly in Hawkins, Indiana, a fictional Midwestern town, and its 1980s setting draws heavily on American science fiction, horror, and coming-of-age films. The production itself was filmed primarily in Georgia, including locations around Atlanta.

The United States refers to the series’ national origin, not every place connected with its production. Viewers sometimes confuse the answer with the United Kingdom because British actors appear in the cast, including Charlie Heaton and Millie Bobby Brown, or with Canada and Australia because those countries also have major television industries. The show’s fictional town is Indiana, but Indiana is a U.S. state rather than a separate country.

Stranger Things premiered on Netflix in 2016 and became one of the platform’s internationally popular original series, while remaining an American production in its official classification.
