What time is Stranger Things season 5 volume 2 out?

For the final season of the mega-hot, Netflix has changed up its usual release schedule. Unlike most of its original shows, the episodes come out in the early hours of the morning for British viewers - due to being released at prime time in America.

Volume two will be released at 5pm PT/ 8pm ET on Christmas Day for viewers in the US, so that is your TV watching sorted. However, they will not land on Netflix in the UK until 1am on Boxing Day (December 26).

The difference in time zones is the reason that episodes come out a day later for British and European audiences. Volume two includes three episodes: Shock Jock, Escape from Camazotz, The Bridge.

When does the Stranger Things finale release?

After the second volume arrives over Christmas, there will be just one episode left to look forward to. The grand finale is set to be called The Rightside Up and will bring the curtain down on the sci-fi favourite.

The Rightside Up is set to be released on New Year’s Eve in America, but fans in the UK and Europe will have to wait until 2026. Stranger Things’ grand finale will once again release at 5pm PT/ 8pm ET on December 31 in the US, which is 1am British time on New Year’s Day.
