Hawkins never truly sleeps, its shadows crawling through familiar streets. Old friends face new terrors while the Upside Down hungers for more. Secrets unravel, alliances shift, and danger hides in every corner.

Even when chaos seems to settle, a tremor shakes Hawkins, and darkness whispers that nothing is truly finished. Just when Season 5 Volume 2 feels complete, a pulse of mystery resurfaces around Volume 3.

Stranger Things Season 5 is set to get volume 3, promising shocking twists, epic confrontations, and long-buried secrets. When will it hit Netflix, and what horrors await Hawkins this time?

Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 3, the epic two-hour finale, is set to arrive on Wednesday, December 31 at 5 PM PT, 8 PM ET, making it a spectacular New Year’s Eve event. Adding to the excitement, the finale will also receive a limited theatrical release, with showtimes beginning simultaneously at 5 PM.

The Duffer Brothers persuaded Netflix to make this cinematic event happen, turning Hawkins’ final chapter into a must-see celebration that fans will absolutely not want to miss.

This season of Stranger Things is crafted like a series of blockbuster movies stitched together, each more intense than the last. The first four volumes hint at the scale, but the stakes, thrills, and jaw-dropping moments are set to escalate, promising an explosive ride fans will never forget.

Netflix is taking advantage of the holiday season, when viewers have time off to stream the finale. Yet airing Volume 3 at 8 PM on two of the biggest holiday nights may force fans to choose between family, friends, and the epic chaos unfolding in Hawkins. But which theatres will be showing the finale for fans eager to see it on the big screen?

10 'Stranger Things' Theories That Will Leave Even the Hardest-Core Fans Scratching Their Heads

Hawkins trembles, shadows creep, and the Upside Down threatens everything. The Stranger Things Season 5 finale is here, but where can it be streamed, and which theaters are showing Hawkins’ ultimate showdown?

Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 3 screenings took place in over 500 theaters across the U.S. and Canada, starting December 31 at 8 p.m. ET, aligned with the Netflix release. Showings continued on January 1 for those who missed New Year’s Eve.

Tickets went live through Fandango, AMC, Regal, Cinemark, and the official Stranger Things finale site, selling out quickly. Fans could watch the finale either on Netflix at home or in theaters, experiencing Hawkins’ epic chaos on the big screen.

The Stranger Things finale, titled The Rightside Up, clocks in at two hours and five minutes, according to Netflix. It is shorter than the epic two-and-a-half-hour Season 4 finale, yet still longer than the finales of the first three seasons.

Fans can expect high-stakes drama, shocking twists, and the kind of jaw-dropping moments only Hawkins can deliver. With the finale now closer than ever, Volume 3 is making waves, bringing the story closer to its ultimate showdown than ever before.
