The Stars of "Stranger Things," Ranked by Success
Think back to July 2016: a new Netflix show combined '80s nostalgia from "The Goonies" and Steven Spielberg movies with cutting-edge special effects and a cast of talented young unknowns. That show was Stranger Things, which quickly became a cultural phenomenon and turned its young cast into overnight A-listers.
Not all cast members have achieved the same level of fame beyond the show. Millie Bobby Brown, Sadie Sink, and Joe Keery have expanded their careers into other franchises, music, and even received a Tony nomination. Others have chosen to keep a low profile, focusing on indie films or their education.
