In a plot twist straight out of Hawkins, Indiana, the beloved exterior of the Wheeler family home from Netflix’s Stranger Things has been snapped up by a pair of super-fans right here in metro Atlanta.
The unassuming two-story brick residence at 2530 Piney Wood Lane in East Point—familiar to millions as the backdrop for Eleven’s awkward teen hangouts and family dinners—sold for $365,000 on October 27, just weeks before the show’s highly anticipated fifth and final season drops on November 26.
Stranger Things Home Purchased by Super-Fans
The new owners, a couple who relocated to the Atlanta area in 2021, couldn’t hide their disbelief when the deal closed. “We didn’t think it would ever be possible,” the wife told Homes.com.
For years, the duo—avid Stranger Things enthusiasts—would cruise by the 1963-built, 2,466-square-foot charmer during drives through the quiet East Point neighborhood, dreaming of one day calling it their own.
Little did they know, fate (or perhaps a Demogorgon-sized stroke of luck) had other plans.

The house, with its retro wood-paneled living room, cozy brick fireplace, and sliding doors opening to a back patio, oozes authentic 1980s nostalgia—perfect for evoking the eerie vibes of the Upside Down.
While interior scenes were filmed on soundstages elsewhere, the exterior has become a pilgrimage site for fans, drawing admirers from across the globe to snap photos of its familiar facade.
The buyers’ journey to homeownership reads like a feel-good episode script.
Already rooted in East Point after purchasing another property in the area, the couple first learned of the listing via social media. The wife, who once appeared as an extra on the show, wasted no time looping in their real estate agent, Giovany Gonzalez-Rios of Keller Williams Realty Metro Atlanta.
Their initial offer was edged out in a bidding war, but as a savvy backup, it sprang to life when the top bidder backed out.
“We paid $15,000 over asking to make it happen,” Gonzalez-Rios revealed, recounting the couple’s determination.
A heartfelt letter to Netflix, emphasizing their commitment to preserving the home’s legacy, may have sealed the deal—though the streaming giant hasn’t commented publicly. “Once I got the confirmation, they were ecstatic,” the agent added with a grin. “Everything happens for a reason.”
For this growing family, the purchase is more than a celebrity address; it’s a canvas for new memories. In the midst of adopting children, the couple envisions raising their kids amid the same whimsical walls that sheltered Mike, Nancy, and the gang.
“We are growing our family through adoption and hope that our children will enjoy their childhood just as much as the Wheeler kids did,” they wrote in a note shared with the neighborhood. “We will honor the neighborhood and the legacy of this house and will be available for any future projects and/or reunions.”
Renovations? Not on the horizon, at least not the drastic kind. The pair plans to keep the home’s iconic charm intact, opting for subtle updates to blend modern comfort with mid-century flair. They’ll ease into the move over Thanksgiving weekend, renting out their current East Point residence in the meantime.
And to fellow fans: You’re welcome to slow down for a peek—just no portal-hopping onto the lawn.
As Stranger Things bids farewell next month, this East Point gem ensures the Wheeler house’s story endures, now starring a real-life family ready to flip the script on happily ever after.

The Peach State’s vibrant film scene is getting a dose of HBCU magic as production crews for Netflix’s highly anticipated A Different World reboot descend on Atlanta this month.
After a successful pilot shoot over the summer, the sequel series—picking up the legacy of the iconic 1980s sitcom—begins principal photography on November 15, transforming historic Black colleges and universities into the bustling campus of Hillman College once more.
A Different World Filming in Atlanta
Fans of the original series, which chronicled the trials, triumphs, and laughter of Black college life from 1987 to 1993, have been buzzing since Netflix, which loves Atlanta, greenlit the 10-episode single-camera comedy earlier this year.
The reboot centers on Deborah Wayne (played by Tony-nominated newcomer Maleah Joi Moon), the sharp-witted youngest daughter of fan-favorite couple Whitley Gilbert-Wayne (Jasmine Guy) and Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison).
As Deborah navigates her freshman year at Hillman, the show promises to blend nostalgic callbacks with fresh takes on modern campus culture, friendship, and self-discovery
Who’s Been Cast in A Different World?
Pride, alongside returning heavyweights like director Debbie Allen—who helms the premiere episode—and writers Reggie Rock Bythewood and Gina Prince-Bythewood, is steering the series toward a February 2026 premiere.
“It is such an honor to be a part of bringing back this iconic show, one that I grew up on and which had a profound impact on my life,” Pride says in a Netflix article. “I am so proud of the work we’re doing to reimagine A Different World for beloved fans and new generations alike.”
Filming kicks off at Clark Atlanta University, site of the summer pilot, before moving to Morehouse College and other local gems like Spelman and Georgia State for exterior shots.
Production runs through late April, but November’s schedule is packed with key scenes capturing Hillman’s lively quad life—think step shows, dorm room heart-to-hearts, and those unforgettable cafeteria debates.
Local extras from Atlanta’s thriving theater scene are already lining up, with casting calls emphasizing diverse ATL talent.
The ensemble cast blends fresh faces with original stars, ensuring the spirit of Hillman endures. Joining Moon are Alijah Kai as the free-spirited Rashida, Chibuikem Uche as aspiring activist Kojo, Cornell Young IV as basketball hopeful Shaquille, Jordan Aaron Hall as tech-savvy Amir, and Kennedi Reece as fashion-forward Hazel.
Original cast members Guy, Hardison, Darryl M. Bell (Ron Johnson), and Cree Summer (Freddie Brooks) reprise their roles in recurring arcs, delighting longtime viewers.
Debbie Allen, whose choreography defined the original’s cultural footprint, teased more details in an Essence interview: “We’re bringing back the joy, the rhythm, the real talk. Atlanta’s got that soul—we’re just amplifying it for a new generation.”
For Atlantans, the reboot isn’t just entertainment—it’s an economic boost. The Georgia Film Office reports that Netflix projects like this inject millions into local businesses, from caterers in Southwest Atlanta to wardrobe houses in Midtown.
A recent cast reunion at Home Depot’s headquarters drew hundreds, sparking calls for pop-up watch parties across the city.
Final Word
As crews roll in this week, keep an eye out for Dwayne Wayne’s signature flip-up glasses on Peachtree Street. A Different World isn’t just returning—it’s reclaiming its spot as a love letter to Black excellence, filmed right in our backyard.

ATLANTA, GA – As the leaves turn and the air chills in the Peach State, Netflix fans are buzzing with anticipation for the long-awaited finale to one of television’s most iconic sci-fi horror sagas.
Stranger Things Season 5, the epic conclusion to the Duffer Brothers’ Upside Down odyssey, is set to drop in a staggered release format designed to keep viewers on the edge of their seats through the holiday season.
With production wrapping earlier this year and a star-studded world premiere lighting up Hollywood just last night, the end is nigh for Eleven, Mike, and the Hawkins crew—and Atlanta’s movie-loving community couldn’t be more thrilled.
A Phased Premiere: Building to the Ultimate Showdown
Unlike previous seasons’ binge-friendly drops, Stranger Things 5 will unfold in three electrifying volumes, ensuring maximum suspense as Vecna’s reign of terror reaches its climax. Here’s the breakdown:
- Volume 1 (Episodes 1-4): Premieres November 26, 2025, at 5 p.m. PT. This Thanksgiving-timed launch kicks off the action with a runtime-heavy opener titled “The Crawl,” clocking in at over 90 minutes, followed by three more pulse-pounding installments. Co-creator Ross Duffer has teased that the season sprints out of the gate in “chaos,” picking up right after the heroes’ defeat in Season 4.
- Volume 2 (Episodes 5-7): Drops on December 25, 2025, at 5 p.m. PT. Santa’s delivering more Upside Down dread this Christmas, with three episodes that promise to deepen the emotional stakes for our favorite ’80s teens-turned-adults.
- The Finale (Episode 8): Airs on December 31, 2025, at 5 p.m. PT. Ring in the New Year with the series’ grand send-off, a two-hour spectacle directed by none other than The Shawshank Redemption helmer Frank Darabont, who came out of retirement for this gig.
This innovative release strategy, confirmed by Netflix and the Duffer Brothers, mirrors the two-volume approach of Season 4 but amps up the drama with holiday tie-ins. “We’re giving fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for—big, emotional, and unforgettable,” the creators shared in a recent Tudum interview.
Back to the Beginning: Teasers and Twists
Excitement hit fever pitch on Stranger Things Day (November 6, 2025), when Netflix surprise-dropped the first five minutes of the premiere episode during a virtual watch party following the L.A. world premiere.
The chilling opener flashes back to 1983, revisiting young Will Byers’ (Noah Schnapp) harrowing abduction into the Upside Down by the Demogorgon—before dragging him straight to Vecna’s lair for a sinister promise: “You and I, we are going to do such beautiful things together, William.”
It’s a gut-wrenching nod to the show’s origins, revealing long-buried secrets about Will’s trauma and setting the stage for the gang’s final stand against the interdimensional overlord.
The official trailer, unveiled just days ago, doubles down on the nostalgia and nightmare fuel: Hawkins under military quarantine, fresh Vecna visions tormenting the ensemble, and the core cast—Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Caleb McLaughlin, and more—reunited for one last battle in the fall of 1987
Duffer hinted that the season dives into the “darkness” ahead, with themes of loss and redemption echoing louder than ever. 3
Atlanta’s Connection: From Sets to Screens
While the show’s heart beats in Hawkins, Indiana, Atlanta’s role in the Stranger Things universe can’t be overstated.
The series has filmed extensively in Georgia, transforming local spots like the Douglas County Courthouse (standing in for Hawkins High) and Atlanta’s own streets into portals of peril. Season 5 wrapped principal photography in metro Atlanta earlier this year, boosting the local economy and drawing film industry talent to the state.
With Pinewood Atlanta Studios as a key hub, the production employed hundreds of Georgians, from grips to VFX wizards crafting those mind-bending Upside Down effects.
Local fans are gearing up for watch parties at spots like the Plaza Theatre, where Stranger Things-themed marathons have become a holiday tradition. “It’s like saying goodbye to childhood friends,” said Atlanta native and film buff Sarah Jenkins, echoing sentiments from the red carpet where stars like Millie Bobby Brown called the premiere “the funeral of the show.”
The event, held at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatres, saw the full cast— including Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Maya Hawke, and Jamie Campbell Bower—strut in Upside Down-inspired couture, from Eleven’s punk edge to Vecna’s gothic menace.
Why It Matters: The Legacy of a Cultural Phenomenon
Since its 2016 debut, Stranger Things has redefined streaming TV, blending ’80s pop culture homage with heart-pounding horror and a killer synth soundtrack.
With over a billion hours viewed worldwide, it’s not just a show—it’s a movement that’s spawned spin-offs (like the upcoming Stranger Things: Dark Place stage play) and economic booms for filming hubs like Atlanta.
Season 5, penned amid the 2023 WGA strike and helmed by the Duffers’ signature vision, promises to tie up loose ends: Will Vecna fall? What’s the true cost of closing the gate? And who survives the Hawkins apocalypse?
As we count down to November 26, Atlanta’s cinephiles are reminded of the magic that happens when storytelling meets Southern hospitality. Grab your Eggo waffles, dim the lights, and prepare for one last trip to the Upside Down. The final season isn’t just an ending—it’s the event of the year.

Another marriage has ended in Atlanta’s word of reality TV.
Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia have called it quits after about a year and a half of marriage, according to People Magazine. The couple, who starred on Bravo TV’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, announced on February 22, 2024 that they are getting a divorce.
Porsha, and Simon, a Nigerian-born businessman, got married in a traditional Nigerian ceremony in November 2022.
The couple had a whirlwind romance on and off the screen as they got engaged in May 2021. What followed were magical trips to Africa, including one in which Porsha an ancestry DNA test confirmed that she was 44% Nigerian, from the same part of the nation where Guobadia’s mom is from.
Back then Porsha was a ball of energy and so excited about her nuptials.
“I am ridiculously excited,” Williams told People Magazine before the wedding. “I am just so ready. I’m not even nervous. I mean, I know I’m marrying the love of my life, and it’s just going to solidify our relationship and our family bond. I’m calm and excited.”
Why Are Porsha and Simon Guobadia Divorcing?
There’s no official word yet on why the Guobadias are ending their marriage, although there may be some indications.
The news of the divorce comes as Porsha announced that she will return to RHOA for its 16th season. She is also set to produce scripted shows with NBCUniversal.
“I’m incredibly thankful for the vision and faith NBCUniversal has put in me to be a larger part of their family,” she said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to being back on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and showing the world my new world!”
Real Housewives of Atlanta Divorces
Is there something in the water, or better yet, the sweet tea. RHOA has been plagued by divorces since its inception.
- In 2005, cast member Lisa Wu married former NFL player Ed Hartwell. He filed for divorce on August 24, 2011; it was finalized October 7, 2011.
- May 5, 2023 — Former NFL player Kroy Biermann and Kim Zolciak-Biermann each filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage.
- In 2014, Porsha famously divorced former NFL player Kordell Stewart. Per the divorce agreement, she received none of his retirement money or assets.
- 2007 — Shereé Whitfield’s and former NFL player Bob Whitfield divorced after seven years of marriage, just before RHOA’s premiere episode.
