Nearly ten years after its debut, "Stranger Things" is coming to an end, and fans of the cherished Netflix series will be able to see its big-screen finale. The fifth and final season's first four episodes were released on November 26, the day before Thanksgiving, and some fans are already looking forward to the upcoming episodes, which are scheduled to air on Christmas. The series is set to conclude up on New Year's Eve in a two-hour-long conclusion. Fans who have followed the Hellfire Club's adventures since the beginning don't need to stay home to witness the last episode. On December 31 and January 1, 2026, a few cinema theaters will screen the finale as part of a special event; tickets go on sale on December 2. Here's everything you should know about the finale screenings if you want to see it in theaters. Which theaters are showing "Stranger Things 5: The Finale"? According to Netflix, more than 350 theaters in the US and Canada are expected to host "fan screenings."

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."
