Where Was 'Stranger Things' Filmed? Behind the Scenes of All 5 Seasons

The popular Netflix series "Stranger Things" is known for its immersive setting in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. However, the show's filming locations are spread across various real-world sites. For seasons 1-3, the majority of the show was filmed in the Atlanta, Georgia area, including locations like the Gwinnett Place Mall and the Emory University campus. Season 4 expanded the filming locations to New Mexico, with the Creel House being shot in Albuquerque. The town of Hawkins itself is primarily represented by the small town of Jackson, Georgia, with iconic locations like the Hawkins National Laboratory and Starcourt Mall being recreated on set. Additionally, the show's creators have utilized visual effects and set design to seamlessly blend the real-world locations with the supernatural elements of the story. As the series prepares for its fifth and final season, fans can look forward to revisiting the familiar Upside Down-tinged settings that have become a hallmark of "Stranger Things."
