While jokes are flying around, the excitement for the 'Stranger Things 5' finale is also high. The finale will be released on Wednesday, December 31, at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT. For Indian fans, it will be available from 6:30 am IST as part of the global rollout. Season 5 was released this year. The first four episodes came out on November 26. Three more episodes dropped on Christmas as volume 2. The finale will arrive on New Year’s Eve.


The ETimes review for season 5 read, "Is this the perfect farewell to Netflix’s most influential sci-fi series? Not yet. For now, Stranger Things Season 5 stands as a masterclass in suspense, compelling, frustrating, and deliberately incomplete, leaving everything riding on the finale."
