For just a single weekend in June, Netflix will be hosting an Instagram-friendly interactive exhibit in Los Angeles called 'Because You Watched.'
The exhibit is set to give fans the chance to truly immerse themselves in their favorite shows by stepping onto recreated sets from popular shows like Stranger Things, Black Mirror, 13 Reasons Why and more. As well as being able to pose beside iconic objects like the Bluth-branded stair car from Arrested Development, fans can also make the most of costumes and props provided by Netflix for the perfect selfie.
Beyond flocking to Because You Watched for the photo opportunities alone, fans will want to secure a first-come-first-served free ticket for the two-day event to get their hands on the free merch that will be exclusively available to attendees.
