Netflix is doing stranger things lately — and this time it's both literal and figurative. The series finale episode of Stranger Things will officially be shown in movie theaters, a move that goes against the streamer’s well-known ethos.

Volumes 1 and 2 of Stranger Things Season 5 will be viewable from home for Netflix subscribers. The same is true for the finale episode, but for fans who want the ultimate experience, it has been announced that the last installment will screen in over 350 select theaters nationwide beginning December 31, 2025, and running through January 1, 2026.

Lucca Comics and Games organizers talk about scoring 'Stranger Things,' 'Death Stranding 2: On the Beach' launches.
