Iconic Imagery From a Cultural Phenomenon

Since its debut in 2016, “Stranger Things” has been one of the defining titles behind Netflix’s rise. The series became a global megahit, driving viewership and conversation across regions and generations. Following the release of Season 5, Part 1 on Nov. 27, 2025, it ranked No. 1 in 91 countries and recorded 59.6 million views in its first five days, marking the strongest opening performance for an English-language series on Netflix to date. It also became the first series in Netflix history to place all five seasons in the Global Top 10 at the same time, holding that record for five consecutive weeks. All episodes from the final season are now streaming globally, only on Netflix.

Samsung’s exclusive content inspired by Season 5 builds on that momentum. Available from Jan. 12 through Feb. 22, the collection includes a special theme and five wallpapers featuring live-action characters and settings from the show, including Hawkins and the Upside Down. Reflecting the unique atmosphere of the show, the visuals allow fans to bring elements of the series into their everyday lives.

A Long-Standing Partnership Celebrating Great Storytelling 

Samsung and Netflix have a long-running partnership, bringing compelling, high-quality content inspired by some of the world’s best-loved shows. The latest collaboration follows their recent partnership to offer special themes for the worldwide hit film “KPop Demon Hunters,” while the companies previously worked together to celebrate the launch of Season 4 of “Stranger Things.”

Wallpapers are available for download on Galaxy smartphones running Android OS versions 8 or later.

The KPop Demon Hunters theme collection composed of Lock Screen, Home Screen, AOD, Phone Screen, Message Screen, and Icons, includes eleven special designs inspired by the film’s unique visual identity¹. The set features one special theme package spotlighting the in-universe K-pop group HUNTRIX, along with ten character-based wallpapers² highlighting fan favourites such as Rumi, Zoey, Jinu, Derpy, and Sussie.

The themes are designed to provide a consistent and visually engaging user experience across Galaxy devices. Closely aligned with the creative direction of the film, each theme enhances the overall look and feel of the interface while maintaining Galaxy’s standards for performance and usability.
