From December 26th, Volume 2 of Stranger Things 5, consisting of episodes 5, 6 and 7, is finally available in Italy, which means only one thing for fans of the Netflix series: the countdown to the grand finale has officially begun!
But exactly when will the final episode of Stranger Things be released on Netflix Italy? If you are looking for the answer to this question, you have come to the right place.
In fact, you should know that, although the official Netflix USA account and the various promotional material for the series continue to talk about December 31, 2025 as the date with the grand finale of the Duffer Brothers saga, the Italian public will have to take the time zone into account. Simply put, Stranger Things 5×8 will be released in Italy on January 1, 2026 at 2:00 in the morning, between the last day of the current year and the first day of the year to come.
A decidedly unusual event for the Italian public, but fans will be able to choose whether to interrupt the New Year’s Eve dinner celebrations and immediately connect to Netflix at 2:00 am or take advantage of the public holiday of January 1st to watch the series finale as soon as they wake up the next morning.
In any case, it is good to remember that Stranger Things 5×8 will have an extra duration: the episode will in fact reach 2 hours and 8 minutes, practically like that of a cinema film, so take this factor into account before pressing play on your remote control!
