"Netflix announced the news Thursday as a sort of save-the-date, though the details on specific theaters and how to attend have not yet been released. Creators Matt and Ross Duffer recently told Variety they hoped for the finale to make it to theaters in tandem with the streaming release, an aspiration reportedly shut down by Netflix honchos until fans grew vocal online."
Stranger Things season five finale, a two-hour capstone, will stream on Netflix globally while also showing in over 350 select theaters in the U.S. and Canada from Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. ET through New Year's Day. Netflix announced the theatrical plan but specific theaters and attendance details remain unreleased. Creators Matt and Ross Duffer sought a simultaneous theatrical release earlier, a plan reportedly blocked by Netflix until fan pressure grew. The series premiered in 2016 and will conclude after multiple hiatuses, with the '80s-set Emmy-winning show following teens uncovering government wrongdoing and supernatural entities in Hawkins, Indiana. The final chapter is titled Chapter Eight: The Rightside Up, with Part One premiering Nov. 26 and Volume 2 arriving on Christmas.
