British fans of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things can finally stop the speculation. The exact release schedule for the final episodes of Season 5 has been confirmed, but viewers in the UK will need to navigate the time difference to know precisely when to tune in.
When Does Stranger Things Season 5 Part 2 Land in the UK?
The much-anticipated second volume of Season 5 is scheduled for release on Christmas Day, Thursday 25 December, for audiences in the United States. However, due to the time zone difference, subscribers in the United Kingdom and Ireland will gain access slightly later.
Episodes will drop on Netflix UK at 1am GMT on Boxing Day, Friday 26 December. This mirrors the release pattern of Part 1, which arrived for British viewers at 1am on Thursday 27 November, a day after its US debut.
What to Expect in the Final Episodes
This concluding volume will consist of three episodes, one fewer than the first instalment. The episodes and their confirmed runtimes are:
- 'Chapter Five: Shock Jock' - 68 minutes
- 'Chapter Six: Escape from Camazotz' - 75 minutes
- 'Chapter Seven: The Bridge' - 66 minutes
The narrative picks up after the dramatic cliffhanger of Volume 1, with Hawkins still under lockdown and the threat of Vecna looming large.
The Epic Series Finale Release Schedule
Netflix is treating the grand conclusion as a separate event. The series finale, titled 'The Rightside Up', will be a cinematic experience with a runtime of 2 hours and 8 minutes.
It is set to premiere in the US on New Year's Eve, Wednesday 31 December. Consequently, UK audiences can begin streaming the final chapter of the Hawkins saga at 1am on New Year's Day, Thursday 1 January.
This staggered release means dedicated fans in Britain will be starting their Boxing Day and New Year's Day with a hefty dose of supernatural drama from Hawkins, Indiana. Be sure to prepare your snacks accordingly for the marathon viewing sessions ahead.
