According to THR, the product universe surrounding Stranger Things is considerably larger than any other Netflix title, making oversight a unique challenge. In 2021, a toy spoiled major plot points for the eagerly anticipated Star Wars: The Bad Batch TV series. In an effort to promote the upcoming batch of episodes, Netflix commissioned a Monopoly board pegged to the new season. There is a pretty lengthy history of movie tie-in toys spoiling plot details, with details like the ending of Toy Story 3, the presence of aliens in the fourth Indiana Jones movie, and the gruesome kills of Michael Myers in 2018’s Halloween all being compromised. Major Stranger Things season 4 plot points have leaked online. “Nobody stole it nobody leaked a sample.” Another thread reacting to the news indicates something similar, claiming that some stores had the game stocked on shelves but would not let people purchase them yet. An April Reddit thread included a user claiming that they had bought the game “fair and square” at a large retailer. Per The Hollywood Reporter, series creators Matt and Ross Duffer, had a “total meltdown” when they were informed about what happened.Īccording to Twitter users, the game could be found at some Target stores, which are stocking a considerable amount of show merch in advance of the fourth season. Who says that board games don’t have an impact on popular culture anymore? Certainly not Netflix, as the beleaguered streaming giant finds itself in the midst of yet another crisis following news that a Stranger Things Monopoly game has made details of the show’s upcoming fourth season public.
