Stranger Things fans are preparing for the long awaited finale as Netflix gets ready to drop the last episode, “The Rightside Up,” on December 31 at 5:00 pm PT.
In a bold move, Netflix will release the finale both on the platform and in more than 500 theatres across the US and Canada. This gives fans the chance to watch the epic conclusion on the big screen.
Set in the fall of 1987, the final season follows Hawkins as it deals with the aftermath of the Rifts. The core group reunites to face Vecna once again, while Eleven struggles with growing pressure from an ongoing government chase.
The finale features returning favourites such as Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, David Harbour and Finn Wolfhard. The first four episodes have already drawn 59 million viewers worldwide in their opening week.
With a runtime of 2 hours and 5 minutes, the finale is one of the show’s most ambitious chapters. The simultaneous streaming and theatrical release is a major experiment for Netflix. If it succeeds, it will be a moment of celebration for all Stranger Things fans.
