At New York Toy Fair 2019, Hasbro / Wizards of the Coast unveiled something that we should have seen coming - a Stranger Things-themed Dungeons & Dragons starter set! As you will see, even experienced players will want to pick this up (and quickly).
According to the description, the starter set allows players "to experience the D&D adventure Stranger Things character Mike Wheeler created for his friends". It includes 5 Stranger Thingscharacter sheets that are based on classes used in the show (like Will the Wise and Dustin the Dwarf). It also includes two exclusive Demogorgon figures, one of which players can paint and customize. You can pre-order a copy of the set on Amazon or Entertainment Earth for $24.99 with shipping slated for May 1st, 2019. Something tells us you should secure one as soon as you can, because this is going to be a popular set. The official list of features can be found below.

looks fun but I couldn't find it on amazon.ca just amazon.com so I am not paying for it in US Funds then having it shipped to Canada, I would be afraid of that cost lol.
Hopefully it will be available here for $12-15, just like Lost Mine is. I don't want or need dice, minis or the physical product at all really, but I'm certainly interested in the adventure. I imagine the pre-gens will be up on the WotC site as a free download since the original starter set characters were. Where can I pre-order @BadEye? :-)
I am looking forward to this, we don't need it but I want it. Actually going to get this for one of my boys for his birthday and let him run it if he wants to, he is about the same age as the boys in the show and obsessed with Stranger Things. Timing is perfect
For some reason this forum doesn't like YT share links that start somewhere other than the start. So here's the link to the time stamp where he unboxes the new Starter Set: https://youtu.be/Q1Lgl28LsWg?t=893

Nice - thanks for sharing that! I've got my Amazon pre-order in of course, but still hope the adventure pops up here as well.
