# The Stranger Things series finale is coming to theaters

> Netflix is set to release the series finale of Stranger Things in theaters on December 31st at 8PM ET, coinciding with its streaming premiere. The finale, titled "The Rightside Up," will be shown in over 350 theaters across the US and Canada and will run until January 1st, 2026. This marks the first simultaneous release of a Netflix episode in theaters and on its platform. More details on the theatrical release will be provided later this year. Season 5 will premiere with four episodes on November 26th, followed by three more on Christmas and the finale on New Year's Eve.

Netflix is bringing the *Stranger Things* series finale to theaters. The show’s final episode will hit theaters at the same time it premieres on the streaming service on December 31st at 8PM ET. It’ll be available in more than 350 theaters across the US and Canada, and will run through January 1st, 2026.

The finale, titled “The Rightside Up,” is two hours long and marks the first time a Netflix episode premieres simultaneously on its platform and in theaters, according to *Deadline*. Netflix previously held screenings for *Stranger Things 4: Volume 2* and gave some of its original films, like *KPop Demon Hunters*, *Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery*, and Guillermo del Toro’s *Frankenstein**,* a brief theatrical run, mainly to maintain awards eligibility.

Netflix says it will reveal more information about where and how to attend the theatrical releases later this year. *Stranger Things* season 5 will make its debut on Netflix with four episodes on November 26th, with three additional episodes coming on Christmas and the finale debuting on New Year’s Eve.
