Stranger Things ended on December 31 after five seasons and 42 episodes. The Netflix series premiered on July 15, 2016 and instantly captured the public's imagination as a love letter to the 1980s as it
mixed together several genres to tell a story about a small town in Indiana plagued by mysterious goings-on. Millie Bobby Brown was one of the breakout stars of the series as a 11-year-old and her character Eleven is beloved by fans as well. Find out how the actress got emotional as she watched the final scene of the show and thanked fans for all their love.
