variety.com/2017/tv/news/stranger-things-bar-close-netflix-cease-and-desist-1202562772/Netflix Issues Cease-and-Desist Order on Unauthorized ‘Stranger Things’-Themed Bar The world is turning upside down for a “Stranger Things”-themed bar in Chicago that has been ordered by Netflix to close its doors. “The Upside Down” pop-up in Chicago, named after the dark parallel universe from the Netflix show, launched in August and became a hit. The bar serves drinks including a syrup-flavored cocktail called “Eleven’s Eggos,” and features decor that matches the show, like the Christmas-light alphabet wall. Due to the bar’s success, the owners had planned to extend their six-week run to coincide with the premier of “Stranger Things” Season 2. However, Netflix issued an (albeit cheeky) cease-and-desist letter. “Unless I’m living in the Upside Down, I don’t think we did a deal with you for this pop-up,” the letter reads. “You’re obviously creative types, so I’m sure you can appreciate that it’s important to us to have a say in how our fans encounter the worlds we build.” According to DNAInfo Chicago, the bar’s owners and manager insist there are no hard feelings and plan to end the pop-up on Oct. 1 as originally planned. Season 2 of “Stranger Things” will premier on October 27.

Matt and Ross Duffer are being accused by crew member Peyton Brown, who posted on Instagram that she would not be returning to the set to work on Season 3 of the series because of the alleged abuse. “I personally witnessed two men in high positions of power on that set seek out and verbally abuse multiple women,” Brown wrote . “I promised myself that if I were ever in a situation to say something that I would. I have 11.5 thousand followers who can hear me say this, TIME IS UP.” Brown later deleted the post, but a screenshot was captured by Entertainment Tonight. In the comments section of that web site, Brown was asked if the Duffer brothers were the “two men” she was referring to in the post. She replied, “Yes, I am.” She further alleged in a post that yelling occurred and the Duffers made threats to the crew and insulted them, which caused several crew members to quit. The Stranger Things series is on hiatus but gearing up for Season 3, which is expected on Netflix in 2019.

We remain totally committed to providing a safe and collaborative working environment for everyone on our productions.” Statement from Netflix: “We looked into the concern that was raised when we heard of the allegation on Thursday, and found no wrongdoing.
