After nine and a half years, it’s time to say goodbye Stranger Things. One of Netflix’s most successful TV originals of all time will bow out for the final time later this week, so you’ll be desperate to know when it will premiere on the streaming titan.
Let’s not delay any longer – here are all the key launch details you need to know Stranger Things 5 final. Oh, and because we won’t see each other until 2026 now: Happy New Year!
When can I watch Stranger Things season 5 episode 8?
Entitled ‘The Rightside Up’, Stranger Things season 5’s eighth and final chapter makes its Netflix debut on Thursday 31 Decemberaka New Year’s Eve.
Well, in North and South America. Fans on other continents will have to tune into the world’s top streaming service a day later – January 1, 2026 – to watch it.
That’s because, like its seven predecessors, Season 5 Episode 8 will be released on New Year’s Eve in America. Given the time difference between them and Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania, it will not arrive until New Year’s Day in the other world regions.
