To fill the curiosity, Netflix released a show called Beyond Stranger things which included a behind the scenes look and interviews with the cast, director, and creators. In the interviews, the shows creators Matt and Ross Duffer revealed that they wanted the audience to be able to relate to the characters on a personal level.

Caroline Jones (‘20) says, “I’m excited to see season 3 because Steve is so beautiful and I love his personality.”

Pwania Taylor (‘18) says, “I liked it because it gave me a better understanding of why they did the show the way they did because watching it I was a little confused.”

For example, producer and director, Shawn Levy, revealed that during certain scenes, music would be played on set in order to get a natural reaction and motivation for the cast.

Samantha Cuttle (‘20) “I liked it because it gave an insight to what the show was really about.”

Natalia Fonseca (‘20) “I didn’t like the “Beyond Stranger Things” show because it was boring because the characters I love weren’t interviewed in person.”
