Hop in, nerds, we’re going to the Starcourt Mall movie theater. Tickets go on sale today for Stranger Things fans who want to spend their New Year’s Eve watching the highly anticipated finale of the show on the big screen. The final episode of Season 5 will hit select movie theaters and Netflix at the same time on Dec. 31.
“We’re beyond excited that fans will have the chance to experience the final episode of Stranger Things in theaters — it’s something we’ve dreamed about for years,” show creators Matt and Ross Duffer told Netflix’s Tudum. “Getting to see it on the big screen, with incredible sound, picture and a room full of fans, feels like the perfect — dare we say bitchin’ — way to celebrate the end of this adventure.”
The last episode, titled “The Rightside Up,” has a runtime of “around two hours,” Matt Duffer told Variety. The finale will come after Season 5 Volume 2 drops on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET on Dec. 25. If you plan on venturing out on New Year’s Eve instead of watching it on Netflix, here’s what to know about getting tickets to see the limited theatrical release showing only in the U.S. and Canada.
How to buy tickets
Starting Dec. 2, tickets are available for U.S. fans through movie chain websites like Regal Cinemas or Cinemark, while Canadian fans can get tickets through Cineplex. Search for “Stranger Things 5: The Finale,” and find your local theater. Choose a showtime, and pick your seats. You can also visit st5finale.com to search for showings closest to you.
Since it’s a limited theatrical release, tickets could sell out fast. And remember, if you miss out on the movie theater experience, the finale will still stream globally on Netflix.
What time can I watch the final episode of ‘Stranger Things’?
Fans can watch the very last episode of the show in the comfort of their own home when it streams on Netflix on Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. ET. For fans who want to watch it on the big screen, the movie will play at the same time as the stream on Netflix. The limited screenings will be available through New Year’s Day.
What else do we know about Season 5?
Here’s the official synopsis of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things: “The fall of 1987. 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.”
