Stranger Things[]
The pilot script was brought to Dan, the vice president of production company 21 Laps Entertainment, in late 2014. He showed it to Shawn Levy before Shawn took interested, and they both invited Duffer Brothers to their office.[1][2]
Cohen, Levy, and Duffer Brothers pitched the show to Netflix in early March 2015. Netflix was very passionate about the show and bought the entire season within 24 hours of the first meeting.[3]
