Netflix sends off its hit series Stranger Things with bike rides and product blitz

Ahead of the fifth and final season's debut in the United States on Nov 26, thousands turned out in Los Angeles at a cycling event dubbed One Last Ride, a nod to the show’s bike-riding teenagers in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.

Retailers are offering everything from Demogorgon Crunch cereal to Hellfire Club backpacks for what is Netflix’s largest consumer products programme to date, said the streamer’s chief marketing officer Marian Lee.

Target stores are selling more than 150 Stranger Things products.
