The Duffers and fellow producers Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen and Iain Paterson were the surprise winners in the episodic drama series category at the Producers Guild of America awards, but that was hardly the end of the industry love, as the series' cast took the television ensemble honor at the SAG Awards the following night. It was an incredible result for an underdog property focused on a bunch of kids trying to solve a supernatural mystery in the early 1980s, whose most recognizable face was Winona Ryder (an Oscar nominee whose career arguably peaked at the turn of the last century), whose soul was captured by David Harbour (hardly a household name even now with his first Emmy nod) and didn't launch with much fanfare even if Netflix insisted it was behind the show.
