All fans of Stranger Things are wondering the same thing: when will the final episode (episode 8 of season 5) be released, and what time will it be available to watch in the UK?
The latest season of the popular show is back, and we’ve already seen the first two parts after a significant wait. Netflix has often released seasons in multiple parts, and we’re now accustomed to this approach. It seems they do this to keep viewers talking about their biggest shows for a longer period.
This season of Stranger Things has a slightly unusual release plan, which has caused some confusion about exactly when new episodes are available, depending on your location.
What to Read Next
Everyone knew the final season of Stranger Things would be a big deal, but if you’re wondering when the best moments to grab snacks (or tissues!) will be, we’ve got you covered.
The final installment, clocking in at 2 hours and 5 minutes, will arrive in the UK on January 1st, 2026, very early in the morning – at 1:00 AM to be exact.
Okay, so the final season is called The Rightside Up, and honestly, after watching these Hawkins heroes struggle for so long, I’m really hoping they finally win! It’s crazy to think Stranger Things first hit Netflix way back in 2016 – almost ten years ago! – and there’s a lot depending on how this all wraps up.
Music is a key element of the sci-fi series, and fans are eagerly awaiting a particular song to be featured in the final episode. The creators have hinted to Indy100 that this song has never been used in a TV show before.
