Netflix will roll out Stranger Things 5 in three separate drops, The first four episodes arrive November 26, over Thanksgiving weekend, with “Sorcerer” serving as the mid-season finale.
The next three episodes will premiere on Christmas Day, and the series finale, “The Rightside Up,” will debut on New Year’s Eve.
