Stranger Things, which first aired back in 2016, came to an end on New Year’s Day (January 1) with the final episode being released on Netflix.
The sci-fi series, created by the Duffer Brothers, follows a group of children from the fictional town of Hawkins as they battle supernatural forces threatening their world.
To celebrate the conclusion of Stranger Things, Royal Mail is set to release a new stamp collection based on the hit Netflix series.

Director of external affairs and policy at Royal Mail, David Gold, said: “We’re thrilled to celebrate Stranger Things with this striking stamp collection.
“Each design captures the essence of the series – from its unforgettable characters to the eerie imagery that has gripped audiences worldwide – making this a true tribute to one of modern television’s most popular shows.”
Royal Mail’s new Stranger Things stamp collection
The new Stranger Things collection will feature 14 stamps across two five-stamp sheets and a four-stamp miniature sheet.
The sheets are designed to represent both the real world and the show’s dark parallel dimension, the Upside Down.
The first five-stamp sheet uses a red background for the real world, while the second features a blue background representing the Upside Down.
Each stamp on the main sheets depicts a scene from a different season of the show.
The stamps are illustrated by British artist Kyle Lambert, who designed the posters for each season of Stranger Things.
Millie Bobby Brown, who rose to fame as Eleven, a girl with psychokinetic powers, appears on two of the stamps.
The collection also features other key characters, including:
- Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson
- Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair
- Noah Schnapp as Will Byers
- Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler
- Joseph Quinn as Edward “Eddie” Munson
- Joe Keery as Steve Harrington
- Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley
The four-stamp miniature sheet shows the show’s core group of friends – Lucas, Will, Mike, and Dustin – riding their bikes.
Fans will be able to spot hidden UV-activated logos on the stamps, including the Hellfire Club emblem on the stamp featuring Eddie Munson and the Scoops Ahoy logo on the stamp depicting Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley.
Stranger Things has become a global phenomenon since its debut, launching its young stars, including Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler) and Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), into the spotlight.
The franchise has since expanded into a stage production – Stranger Things: The First Shadow.
An upcoming animated spin-off series, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, has also been recently announced.
