This month, everyone’s favourite 80s-inspired cult TV show, Stranger Things, returns to the small screen, premiering on 27th October on Netflix. To mark the occasion, Topshop have collaborated with the show on a special clothing and accessories collection, as well as a series of in-store screenings and events.

The brand’s stores in London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester will each transform into immersive settings from the TV show. Here, you’ll be able to explore Hawkins lab, enter Will’s secret wooded den, play games at the arcade and get lost in the alternative dimension of the Upside Down (if you dare), while – for all of you whose anticipation levels are nearing dangerous levels – a special draw will allow winners to watch Stranger Things 2 back-to-back, the very moment the series drops on Netflix.

And if that’s not enough, actress Shannon Purser – AKA Barb from series one – is set to host an in-store event at the brand’s Oxford Street flagship, offering selected shoppers the chance to view two episodes of the series at a specially made Stranger Things screening room the evening before the official launch.

An accompanying 28-piece capsule collection will also drop in stores throughout the UK on 20th October. Drawing on the show’s 80s influences, pieces – including baseball caps, raglan tees, bobbleheads and retro lunch boxes – feature a host of references from the series, such as a Radio Shack ad for Walkie-Talkies, patches for Hawkins Middle School AV Club and a print of cult character Barbara ‘Barb’ Holland.
