Stranger Things 5 Finale: We are just hours away from seeing what happens at the end of the world or at the end of the Upside Down.
The Stranger Things 5 series is ending after ten years. We have seen a lot of things in these years like the Christmas lights that Eleven uses to talk to her friends the music that sounds like it is from video games and Eleven getting nosebleeds when she uses her powers.
Now Netflix is saying that the Stranger Things 5 finale is going to be a deal all, around the world. They want people to watch it on New Years Eve, which’s also a night when people usually celebrate with their friends and family but this time it will be a night to watch the Stranger Things 5 finale and see what happens with Vecna.
If you are ready to see how the “Full Party” finishes the fight here is everything you need to know about the release schedule, theater screenings and what is, at stake.
