Let's take a closer look! KFC has launched both a special menu and a striking advertising campaign dedicated to Netflix's hit series, Stranger Things. With a narrative as thrilling as the show itself, the advertisement and the "Stranger Things Special Menu" have captured everyone's attention. Through this collaboration, KFC has delivered a creative farewell to the Stranger Things universe.

Stranger Things Burger Meal
KFC created a thematic presentation inspired by the show’s dark Upside Down atmosphere, featuring a special sauce burger, fries, and a drink. With its dark colored bun and carefully designed presentation, the brand delivered another mouthwatering menu, while proving its creativity once again with the “Hawkins Fried Chicken” detail on the packaging.
Stranger Wings
Wing lovers also have Stranger Wings to try. These special sauce-coated wings definitely whetted our appetites. With this move, the brand managed to attract both TV series fans and fast food enthusiasts.
A Stranger Things Style Commercial With The KFC Flavour
With scenes inspired by the Upside Down world and a high-tension storyline that matches the show’s dark and mysterious theme, the commercial feels like a scene straight out of Stranger Things. Everything begins with an incoming order and continues with the preparation of the special menu inside a chaotic, wrecked KFC restaurant.
The Courier's Tragic Fate
The city has completely surrendered to the chaos of the Upside Down. Rifts have spread everywhere, a military lockdown is in place, streets are collapsing, and supernatural creatures roam freely. Yet, the Hawkins Fried Chicken team fights heroically to deliver the order despite all odds. In the end, a bicycle courier manages to escape the chaos. Just as he is about to make the delivery, he gets wrapped up by vines at the doorstep. Screaming, he makes one final move and throws the bag forward. Under red flashing lights, a tragic fate awaits the courier. But the special menu reaches its owner, and salvation arrives with a “Finger Lickin’ Good.”
And The Curtain Falls…
Stranger Things’ themes of friendship, courage, and perseverance in the face of danger align with KFC’s “chicken obsession” mindset. Maybe Hawkins could have been saved by nothing more than a hot piece of chicken… We may never know, but we’re saying goodbye in a delicious, special-sauce, and slightly bittersweet way.
