Uncover the Real Locations Behind Stranger Things' Hawkins!

• Netflix's "Stranger Things" is set in fictional Hawkins, Indiana, but primarily filmed across various locations in Georgia for its initial seasons.
• Seasons 1 and 2 utilized Jackson's downtown for Hawkins landmarks, East Point for family homes, and a former Stockbridge school for Hawkins High.
• Season 3 transformed Duluth's Gwinnett Place Mall into the iconic Starcourt Mall and used Atlanta's South Bend Pool for community pool scenes.
• Season 4 expanded globally, filming Hopper's captivity in a former jail in Vilnius, Lithuania, and the California plot in Albuquerque, USA.
• Key locations include Douglasville's City Hall (Hopper's station), Stone Mountain Park for bike scenes, and Lithia Springs/Palmetto for Eleven's early adventures.

Why It Matters: Hawkins is a Georgia-filmed illusion; later seasons expanded to Lithuania and New Mexico.
