Netflix's 'Stranger Things,' set in the fictional 1980s Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana, was primarily filmed in various real-life locations across Georgia. Iconic settings like the town center buildings, family homes, Hawkins High, and Starcourt Mall were brought to life using sites in Jackson, East Point, Stockbridge, and Duluth. While exterior shots utilized these Georgia locales, many interior scenes were recreated on studio sets with attention to detail and safety.
