The streaming giant is launching Beyond Stranger Things, a post-show rehash for the sci-fi phenomenon that debuted in 2016. Hosted by writer, producer, actor and "superfan" Jim Rash (The Dean from Community and Oscar winning writer), the show after the show promises to explore the inspiration for the series, tell behind-the-scenes stories and analyze every aspect of the second season, including answering all burning questions.

All seven episodes will be available to watch on Oct. 27, the same day Stranger Things 2 is released on the streaming platform. However, viewers will be advised not to start watching Beyond Stranger Things until after they have finished watching the entire new season of the drama, as there will no doubt be major spoilers along the way. Unlike the genre's other aftershows, which air installments following each episodes, Netflix's iteration will automatically play after viewers complete the final episode of Stranger Things 2.

That's a weird format for the show, but I guess most people wouldn't stop their binge to watch the after show in between each Stranger Things.

Did anyone watch this? I heard they said Bob was suppose to be a sleezy character but Sean is such a nice guy that they rewrote him

Boss said they are only like 15-20 minutes per episode. I was picturing 45 minutes. I might download these for offline viewing (Netflix does that now) and listen to them in the car like a podcast.

Why are these types of shows a thing? Especially for a binge-able show. This just seems like a way to address lazy writing *COUGHThewalkingDeadCOUGH*

100% true on TWD. They use the after show as a way to explain things they werent able to on the show because of bad writing. It exists for ST because the cast has fun stories to share and they learn more about behind the scenes stuff.
