Is the Stranger Things finale being shown in theatres?
Yes! The final ever episode of Stranger Things 5 will be available to watch on the big screen... but sadly only in the US and Canada.
In a statement, the Duffer brothers said: "We’re beyond excited that fans will have the chance to experience the final episode of Stranger Things in theatres — it’s something we’ve dreamed about for years, and we’re so grateful to Ted, Bela, and everyone at Netflix for making it happen."
"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."
When does the Stranger Things 5 finale come out in cinemas?
Just because it's releasing in cinemas doesn't mean you'll get to watch it early...
The first screenings of the Stranger Things 5 finale will begin on December 31st at 5pm PT/8pm ET, in tandem with the time it drops on Netflix globally.
It will also be a limited run and won't be staying in theatres for long. In fact, you'll have just over 24 hours to get to a cinema if you want to witness the end of this incredible series on the big screen as it will end on January 1st.
Where to get tickets for Stranger Things 5 finale in theatres
Netflix have not yet confirmed any further information about which theatres or where fans can get their hands on tickets. Per Tudum, that info will arrive at a later date.
It's likely that it will be a similar theatrical release roll out to Taylor Swift's recent 'Release Party of a Showgirl' event, with several major US and Canada cinema chains taking part.
Ticket prices will also likely be a similar price to standard cinema tickets.
Will Stranger Things 5 be released in cinemas in any other countries?
Sadly, it looks like no other countries will be getting theatrical releases of Stranger Things 5's finale. Well, not yet at least...
Netflix have not teased any international release dates but with additional information on the way, things may change.
