The “Stranger Things” finale is going to show in theaters as the long running Netflix series comes to an end on New Year’s Eve…
The “Stranger Things” series finale is set to debut on Netflix on New Year’s Eve but the highly anticipated episode, which is expected to run around two hours, is also getting a theatrical release.
It’s been a longtime hope for series creators Matt and Ross Duffer that “Stranger Things” could eventually show in theaters and now their wish has been granted. The final episode, which drops at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT on December 31, is also now set to air in theaters simultaneously.
“The finale. Theaters. New Year’s Eve,” ‘Stranger Things’ co-creator Ross Duffer wrote on Instagram. “This is something my brother and I have dreamed about for years. If you don’t mind crying in front of strangers, GO. And if you’re in LA… maybe we’ll see you there.”
The release schedule for the final season of “Stranger Things” starts on November 26 with the first four episodes followed by three more on Christmas day and then the series finale set for New Year’s Eve.
Here’s the official synopsis for the final season:
“Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.”
