The first four episodes of ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 dropped this week, and excited fans will have to wait nearly a month to see the next episodes.
For some science fiction fans, this Thanksgiving not only marked a celebration of fall food and turkey. The holiday coincided this year with the release of the first part of “Stranger Things” Season 5, the final season of the beloved show that premiered almost ten years ago.
The drop included the first four episodes of the season, which came over three years after the release of Season 4 in 2022. While the four episodes could be considered long − Episode 1 is 68 minutes, Episode 2 is 54 minutes, Episode 3 is 66 minutes, and Episode 4 is 83 minutes − some fans choose to watch season releases in a single sitting, often called “binge watching.”
If you’ve already binge-watched the first four episodes and now find yourself waiting to see what happens next to your favorite characters, here’s when you can watch the next installment of “Stranger Things” Season 5.
When does Part 2 of ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 release? The fifth season is being released in three different waves: four episodes dropped on Thanksgiving Eve, three episodes release on Christmas, and the series finale on New Year’s Eve.
The next three episodes release on Dec. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and the finale releases on Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. v
How can I watch the next three ‘Stranger Things’ episodes?
