Why should I care? Stranger Things is ending after a 10-year journey.
- Stranger Things season 1 premiered in July 2016 with little fanfare and promotion. Through strong reviews and positive word of mouth, the show became a massive hit on Netflix.
- Season 5 is the biggest in terms of size, scale, and scope. The cinematic nature of the season, which took about one year to film, is one of the leading reasons for the three-year hiatus since the show last aired.
- Stranger Things season 4 is Netflix’s third-most popular English TV show ever. Because of the anticipation for the finale, Season 5 has a strong chance at topping Netflix’s most popular TV show list.
Okay, what’s next? Stranger Things will be split into three parts later this year on Netflix.
- Volume 1 (episodes 1-4) on November 26, volume 2 (episodes 5-7) on December 25, and volume 3 (episode 8) on December 31.
- Netflix will release an official trailer sometime in the coming weeks.
