"It's been an honor of a lifetime monster hunting with you. - Natalia Dyer"

Mumbai, Jan 6

Actress Natalia Dyer has penned an emotional note as she reflected on her journey in the popular series "Stranger Things" as Nancy Wheeler, calling it an "honor of a lifetime" to be part of the hit series.

Dyer took to Instagram, where she shared a picture of herself dressed as Nancy Wheeler from the series, which combines elements of horror, science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and coming-of-age drama.

She wrote in the caption: "I've truly loved and learned so much from Nancy Wheeler. Thank you guys for everything. It's been an honor of a lifetime monster hunting with you."

Set in the 1980s, the series centers on the residents of the fictional small town of Hawkins, Indiana, after a young girl with psychokinetic abilities, named Eleven, opens a gateway between Earth and a hostile alternate dimension known as the Upside Down at a nearby human experimentation facility.

The cast includes Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Cara Buono, Matthew Modine, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, Dacre Montgomery, Sean Astin, Paul Reiser, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Linda Hamilton, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Nell Fisher.

Stranger Things is a blend of investigative drama and supernatural horror with childlike wonder, infusing references to the popular culture of the 1980s.

Several thematic and directorial elements were inspired by the works of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, David Lynch, Stephen King, Wes Craven, H. P. Lovecraft, and FromSoftware. The show also drew inspiration from Cold War-era experiments and conspiracy theories involving secret government programs.

Natalia has also appeared in the comedy thriller series Based on a True Story and the films Yes, God, Yes, Velvet Buzzsaw and Things Heard & Seen.

On the film front, she was last seen in All Fun and Games directed by Costa and Celeboglu. The film follows a group of teens in Salem, Massachusetts, who discover a cursed knife that unleashes a demon which forces them to play gruesome, deadly versions of childhood games where there can be no winners, only survivors.

Stranger Things is a global phenomenon, and it's great to see the actors appreciating their time on the show. The 80s nostalgia hits differently for us in India too, even if we didn't grow up there. The music, the vibe... it's universal.

Honestly, while I love the show, I feel Nancy's character arc became a bit repetitive after season 2. Always the determined one with a gun. Still, Natalia is a good actress and her emotional note is sweet. Hope she gets great roles after this.

It's been an honor for us viewers too! This show brought friends and family together for watch parties. My cousins and I would video call every time a new season dropped. More than the monsters, it's the friendships that resonated.

The article mentions the 80s pop culture references. As someone who grew up on old Hollywood tapes, catching those Easter eggs is half the fun! Shows like this make global entertainment so rich. Wishing all the cast the best for their future.
