Netflix has finally announced the release dates for the highly-anticipated fifth and final season of Stranger Things.
As per the streaming giant, the final installment of the sci-fi series will be released in three parts late this year. The first part will premiere on November 26, and the second on Christmas Day.
However, the grand finale of the show will hit Netflix on New Year’s Eve.
The debut dates of the series were announced on Saturday at Netflix’s Tudum fan event in Los Angeles.
Recently, Stranger Things producer Ross Duffer said of the final series, “We spent a full year filming this season. By the end, we’d captured over 650 hours of footage.”
He further said, “So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet. It’s like eight blockbuster movies. It’s pretty insane.”
Ross’ brother Matt Duffer added, “At the same time, we think it’s our most personal story. It was super intense and emotional to film — for us and for our actors. We’ve been making this show together for almost 10 years. There was a lot of crying. There was so much crying.”
“The show means so much to all of us, and everyone put their hearts and souls into it. And we hope — and believe — that passion will translate to the screen,” he continued.
