Stranger Things fans in the UK have expressed outrage after Netflix announced that special cinema screenings of the final episodes of Season 5 will be limited to the US and Canada. The announcement was made on the official Stranger Things social media accounts on December 1.
The first four episodes of the final season were released on Netflix last week, ending with a major twist revealing Will Byers' powers. The remaining three episodes will drop on December 26, with the grand finale following on January 1.
Fans took to social media to vent their frustration. One wrote: "What a terrible day to be in England." Another commented: "Ugh, it's cool they're doing an epic screening but... US and Canada only? Seriously?" A third joked: "Make it worldwide you cowards, do you not think Europe wants this too?"
Some pointed out the show's global popularity, with one fan noting: "Stranger Things is number 1 in the UK as I type, why would you not put it in cinemas here?" The decision has left many UK fans feeling overlooked despite the series' international success.
