The end is near. Stranger Things season 5 will bring down the curtain on one of the greatest Netflix TV Originals of all time. And based on everything we’ve seen so far, it looks like it’s going to go out with an epic and highly emotional bang.
Before the release, there are many questions we need answers to Stranger Thingsincluding when its fifth and final episode will premiere. So let’s not delay the inevitable any longer – here’s all the important information you need to know Stranger Things 5‘s launch.
When can I watch Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 1 on Netflix?
Look at
After a three and a half year wait, the final part of one of the best Netflix shows will make its bow Wednesday 26 November. Well, in North and South America at least – the rest of the world will have to tune into the world’s best streaming service on Thursday, November 27.
There is a reason for that Stranger Things season 5 volume 1, which includes episodes 1 to 4, will launch on various dates. Unlike previous seasons, this eight-part installment won’t drop at midnight Pacific Time in the US, meaning it won’t arrive on, say, at 3am Eastern Time Stateside and 8am UK time.
Instead, Netflix releases season 5 part 1 at 5pm PST / 8pm EST on November 26th. In short: this means that its first four episodes will not be available to watch in Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania until the following day.
But enough waffle. Here are the most important dates and times to know about for the nation where you live:
- US – Wednesday 26 November at 5pm PST / 8pm EST
- Canada – Wednesday 26 November at 5pm PST / 8pm EST
- Great Britain – Thursday 27 November at 01:00 GMT
- India – Thursday 27 November at 06.30 IST
- Singapore – Thursday 27 November at 9 a.m. SGT
- Australia – Thursday 27 November at 12 AEDT
- New Zealand – Thursday 27 November at 2pm NZDT
